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

It is difficult for relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients to achieve complete remission (CR). The CAG regimen [low-dose cytarabine and aclarubicin in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)] has been used to treat relapsed and refractory AML patients, and showed good therapeutic efficacy. It is unknown, however, whether increasing the dose of aclarubicin in CAG regimen could treat relapsed or refractory AML safely and effectively. We evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of increasing the dose of aclarubicin in CAG regimen, in 37 relapsed or refractory AML patients. All patients were treated with CAG regimen including low-dose cytarabine (10 mg/m(2) every 12 h, days 1-14), aclarubicin (5-7 mg/m(2) every day, days 1-14), and G-CSF (200 μg/m(2) every day, days 1-14) priming. After a single course of therapy, the overall response [CR + partial remission (PR)] rate of all patients was 78.4 % (29/37), in which the CR rate was 62.2 % (23/37). There was no early death. The median overall survival was 6 months (range 2-36 months). Myelosuppression was ubiquitous, but tolerated. No severe non-hematologic toxicity was observed. Thus, increasing the dose of aclarubicin in CAG regimen can be used safely and effectively in the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML.
