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

The incidence of therapy-related acute promyelocytic leukemia (t-APL) is apparently rising. We systematically reviewed the English literature until March 15, 2013, and collected a total of 326 t-APL cases, with the following results: (1) t-APL affects predominantly middle-aged adults with a median age at diagnosis of 47 years and a female-to-male ratio of 1.7:1; (2) after an incidence peak at 2 years following the completion of treatment for the primary antecedent disease, the risk of developing t-APL quickly diminishes with time; (3) the four most common primary antecedent conditions are breast cancer, hematological malignancies, multiple sclerosis, and genitourinary malignancies; (4) topoisomerase II inhibitors and radiation represent the most common potential risk factors; (5) despite different DNA damage "hot spot" sites, t-APL has no significant clinicopathologic differences from de novo APL (dn-APL); (6) t(15;17) is the sole cytogenetic abnormality in the vast majority of patients; (7) only a small minority of cases have a myelodysplastic or pancytopenic preleukemic phase; (8) more than one-third of patients come to medical attention incidentally (i.e., due to laboratory abnormalities), while the most common symptom is mucocutaneous bleeding, and 79 % have clinical DIC; and (9) the remission rate of t-APL is about 80 %, similar to dn-APL.
