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

Clofarabine is a second-generation purine nucleoside analog that has been synthesized to overcome the limitations and incorporate the best qualities of fludarabine and cladribine. Clofarabine acts by inhibiting ribonucleotide reductase and DNA polymerase, thereby depleting the amount of intracellular deoxynucleoside triphosphates available for DNA replication. Compared to its precursors, clofarabine has an increased resistance to deamination and phosphorolysis, and hence better stability as well as higher affinity to deoxycytidine kinase (dCyd), the rate-limiting step in nucleoside phosphorylation. Since the initiation of the first phase I study of clofarabine in 1993 in patients with hematologic and solid malignancies, clofarabine has demonstrated single-agent antitumor activity in adult acute leukemia, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Due to its unique properties of biochemical modulation when used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs, mainly cytarabine, combination regimens containing clofarabine have been evaluated. A review of the English literature was performed that included original articles and related reviews from the MEDLINE (PubMed) database and from abstracts based on the publication of meeting materials. This review describes the development, pharmacology and clinical activity of clofarabine, as well as its emerging role in the treatment of adult patients with AML and myelodysplastic syndrome.
