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

Intensive chemotherapy for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is associated with significant treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Herein, we investigate how pretreatment characteristics relate to early adverse outcomes in such patients, studying 205 consecutive individuals receiving curative-intent induction chemotherapy with cytarabine and an anthracycline ("7 + 3"; n = 175) or a "7 + 3"-like regimen (n = 30). Among the entire cohort, baseline grade 4 neutropenia (i.e., absolute neutrophil count <500 cells/µL) was associated with development of fever (P = 0.04), documented infection (P < 0.0001), and bacteremia (P = 0.002) but not requirement for intensive care unit-level care; after exclusion of the 30 patients who received "7 + 3"-like induction, baseline grade 4 neutropenia remained associated with documented infection (P < 0.0001) and bacteremia (P = 0.0005). Among patients achieving a complete remission with the initial treatment cycle, grade 4 neutropenia was associated with delayed neutrophil count recovery (P < 0.0001). Low monocyte and lymphocyte counts at baseline were similarly associated with increased risk of documented infection or bacteremia. After adjustment for age, gender, disease type, cytogenetic/molecular risk, and performance status, the risk of fever, documented infection, or bacteremia was 1.87 (95% confidence interval: 1.04-3.34; P=0.04)-fold, 4.95 (2.20-11.16; P<0.001)-fold, and 3.14 (0.99-9.98; P=0.05)-fold higher in patients with initial grade 4 neutropenia. Together, our studies identify severe baseline neutropenia as a risk factor for infection-associated adverse events after induction chemotherapy and may provide the rationale for the risk-adapted testing of myeloid growth factor support in this high-risk AML/MDS patient subset.
