1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We investigated the safety and early disease control data for i.v. busulfan (Bu) in combination with clofarabine (Clo) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Fifty-one patients (median age, 36 years; range, 20-64 years) received a matched sibling (n = 24), syngeneic (n = 2), or matched unrelated donor transplant (n = 25) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in first complete remission (n = 30), second complete remission (n = 13), or active disease (n = 8). More than one-half of the patients had a high-risk cytogenetic profile, as defined by the presence of t(9;22) (n = 17), t(4;11) (n = 3), or complex cytogenetics (n = 7). Clo 40 mg/m(2) was given once daily, with each dose followed by pharmacokinetically dosed Bu infused over 3 hours daily for 4 days, followed by hematopoietic SCT 2 days later. The Bu dose was based on drug clearance, as determined by the patient's response to a 32-mg/m(2) Bu test dose given 48 hours before the high-dose regimen. The target daily area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 5500 μM/min for patients age <60 years and 4000 μM/min for those age ≥60 years. The regimen was well tolerated, with a 100-day nonrelapse mortality rate of 6%. With a median follow-up of 14 months among surviving patients (range, 6-28 months), the 1-year overall survival, disease-free survival, and nonrelapse mortality rates were 67% (95% confidence interval [CI], 55%-83%), 54% (95% CI, 41%-71%), and 32% (95% CI, 16%-45%), respectively. For patients undergoing SCT in first remission, these respective rates were 74%, 64%, and 25%. Our data indicate that the combination of Clo and Bu provides effective disease control while maintaining a favorable safety profile.
