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

Fifty-one consecutive non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who had achieved morphologic complete remission (mCR) after induction chemotherapy were enrolled in the present study. Three characteristics of bone marrow (BM) composition analyzed by flow cytometry were combined to determine the prognostic impact. A standardized panel of reagents was used to detect residual disease of aberrant myeloid progenitor cells (RD), identify neutrophils/monocytes with dysregulated immunophenotype (dysregulated neutro/mono) and quantify the appearance of CD34(+) B-progenitor-related cluster (hematogones) simultaneously in post-induction BM of adult AML patients. Patients who had detectable RD ≥0.2 % exhibited significantly lower median leukemia-free survival (LFS) than those who did not (13.5 vs. 48.0 months; P = 0.042). Dysregulated neutro/mono abnormalities assessed by this flow cytometric scoring system (FCSS ≥2) predicted shorter LFS (8.0 vs. 39.0 months; P = 0.008). While B-progenitor-related cluster size ≥5 % predicted improved outcome, with longer LFS (not reached vs. 13.5 months; P = 0.023) and better overall survival (not reached vs. 24.0 months; P = 0.027). The proposed RD/dysregulated neutro/mono/hematogones score showed a new risk groups with different LFS in the overall patients (P = 0.0006) as well as in the subgroup of intermediate cytogenetic risk (P = 0.001). The RD/dysregulated neutro/mono/hematogones score assessed by flow cytometry for adult AML in mCR may offer a rapid and practical risk assessment providing better refinement in risk-adapted management after induction chemotherapy.
