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

backgroundAnthracyclines have activity against acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) but can cause cardiac toxicity and secondary malignancy. The all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-arsenic trioxide (ATO) combination is an effective noncytotoxic approach for APL. However, its efficacy against high-risk APL (white blood cell count > 10,000/μL) has not been documented. Also, it requires ≥ 8 months to complete therapy. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe report a retrospective analysis of 63 patients with APL given one cycle of ATO-based consolidation chemotherapy.

resultsThe 5-year overall survival, event-free survival, and leukemia-free survival was 93% (95% confidence interval [CI], 82%-97%), 89% (95% CI, 77%-95%), and 92% (95% CI, 80%-97%), respectively.

conclusionThese data have confirmed that an abbreviated ATO-based chemotherapy regimen is an effective consolidation therapy for APL, including high-risk APL, and can be completed within 4 months.
