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.

Abstract

This is the first prospective study of treatment of patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), an aggressive hematologic malignancy derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells that typically involves the skin and rapidly progresses to a leukemia phase. Despite being initially responsive to intensive combination chemotherapy, most patients relapse and succumb to their disease. Because BPDCN blasts overexpress the interleukin-3 receptor (IL3R), the activity of SL-401, diptheria toxin (DT)388IL3 composed of the catalytic and translocation domains of DT fused to IL3, was evaluated in BPDCN patients in a phase 1-2 study. Eleven patients were treated with a single course of SL-401 at 12.5 μg/kg intravenously over 15 minutes daily for up to 5 doses; 3 patients who had initial responses to SL-401 received a second course in relapse. The most common adverse events including fever, chills, hypotension, edema, hypoalbuminemia, thrombocytopenia, and transaminasemia were transient. Seven of 9 evaluable (78%) BPDCN patients had major responses including 5 complete responses and 2 partial responses after a single course of SL-401. The median duration of responses was 5 months (range, 1-20+ months). Further studies of SL-401 in BPDCN including those involving multiple sequential courses, alternate schedules, and combinations with other therapeutics are warranted. This trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00397579.
