Chemomodulation of sequential high-dose cytarabine by fludarabine in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia: a randomized trial of the AMLCG.
Trial report in Leukemia, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07101588 (Ruxolitinib and Decitabine-Enhanced Conditioning Versus Modified Bu/Cy or BuF Conditioning for the Impact on Relapse of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in First Complete Remission), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
Chemomodulation of cytarabine by fludarabine has been attributed with a higher antileukemic efficacy, but randomized trials to address this question are rare. We therefore conducted a multicenter, randomized phase III study to evaluate the antileukemic efficacy of adding fludarabine to sequential high-dose cytarabine+idarubicin (SHAI) re-induction chemotherapy in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients (n=326, of which 281 were evaluable) were randomly assigned to SHAI (cytarabine, 1 g/m(2) bid, days 1-2 and 8-9 (3 g/m(2) for patients ≤ 60 years with refractory AML or ≥ 2nd relapse); idarubicin 10 mg/m(2) daily, days 3-4 and 10-11) or F-SHAI (SHAI with fludarabine, 15 mg/m(2), 4 h before cytarabine). Although complete remission (CR) rates (35% SHAI and 44% F-SHAI) and overall survival did not differ between both regimens, fludarabine prolonged time to treatment failure from 2.04 to 3.38 months (median, P<0.05). Twenty-seven percent of patients proceeded to allogeneic stem cell transplantation, with a significantly higher number of patients in CR or incomplete remission in the F-SHAI group (22 vs 10%, P<0.01). In conclusion, fludarabine has a beneficial, although moderate, impact on the antileukemic efficacy of high-dose cytarabine-based salvage therapy for relapsed and refractory AML.
