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

There is no standard treatment for adolescents aged 15 years or older with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), although this age group has been reported as having a poorer prognosis compared to younger patients. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of three consecutive Tokyo Children's Cancer Study Group ALL trials (1995-2006) of 373 patients aged 10 years or older, with particular focus on adolescents aged 15-18 years (older-adolescents n = 41), compared to those aged 10-14 years (younger-adolescents n = 332). The probability of event-free survival at 8 years was 67.5 ± 7.4 % for the older-adolescents and 66.5 ± 2.6 % for the younger-adolescents (p = 0.95). Overall survival was 70.7 ± 7.1 % for the older-adolescents and 74.3 ± 2.4 % for the younger-adolescents (p = 0.48). The differences between groups in relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality, and death rate during induction were not statistically significant, although the older-adolescents trended towards a higher frequency of having stem-cell transplantation during the first remission. In conclusion, our treatment strategy, which consists of intensive induction and block-type consolidation, provided improved outcomes for patients aged 15-18 years, comparable to those for patients aged 10-14 years.
