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

Arsenic Trioxide is an old drug that has recently re- introduced into new medicine. It is very potent against a specific type of leukemic cells harboring translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17. It has been demonstrated that this drug is effective against all stages of acute promyelocytic leukemia, including for remission induction of relapsed cases, or as first-line treatment. It is also useful in the consolidation/maintenance phase of treatment. Many trials are ongoing to determine the best and optimum schedule for this drug as a single agent or in combination with other drugs. In the future, its indications might extend to other malignancies. In this review, we will study biologic effects of arsenic trioxide on APL cells and the results of clinical trials on the treatment of APL. We will also discuss the toxicity and minimal residual detection during patient follow-up.
