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

Large, comprehensive population-based studies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are scarce. We conducted a nationwide population-based study on treatment, trial participation and survival among all adult patients diagnosed with AML (n=12,032) and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL; n=585) in the Netherlands between 1989-2012. Patients were categorized into four periods and four age groups (18-40, 41-60, 61-70 and >70 years). The application of allogeneic stem cell transplantation increased over time among AML patients up to age 70 years. For APL patients, the use of chemotherapy increased across all age groups. When a clinical trial was open for accrual in the Netherlands, the inclusion rates were 68%, 57%, 30% and 12% for AML patients in the four age groups, respectively (data for APL unavailable). Relative survival improved over time among AML (up to age 70 years) and APL patients. In the period 2007-2012, 5-year relative survival rates were 54%, 38%, 14% and 2% for AML patients and 84%, 75%, 54% and 37% for APL patients in the four age groups, respectively. As survival remained poor for older AML patients over the last two decades, clinical trials and active participation in those trials, are warranted that explore innovative treatment strategies for this elderly population.
