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

We investigated risk factors and outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with leptomeningeal involvement. Medical records of patients with non-promyelocytic AML at Seoul National University Hospital from January of 2000 to November of 2013 were reviewed. Leptomeningeal involvement was defined as the presence of atypical or malignant hematopoietic cells in the cerebrospinal fluid. Among 775 patients with AML, 141 patients (18.2 %) underwent cerebrospinal fluid examination. Leptomeningeal involvement of AML, confirmed in 38 patients (4.9 %), was associated with high white blood cell count and high level of lactic. There were seven patients in the favorable risk group (19.4 %), 21 in the intermediate risk group (58.3 %), and eight in the adverse risk group (22.2 %). Twenty-eight patients (85.7 %) developed leptomeningeal involvement during relapse status or refractory status. Thirty-one patients (81.6 %) received intrathecal chemotherapy, and whole-brain and/or craniospinal radiotherapy was conducted in 10 patients (27.0 %). The rate of complete remission after induction chemotherapy was 63.2 %. Median overall survival was 9.9 months. Radiotherapy and complete remission after the first induction chemotherapy were associated with longer overall survival. Leptomeningeal involvement in acute myeloid leukemia is rare, but relatively common in relapsed status or refractory status. Craniospinal radiotherapy and complete remission after induction chemotherapy were found to favorable prognostic factors.
