Effectiveness of Three Prognostic Scoring Systems in Predicting the Response and Outcome in Pediatric Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Chronic Phase on Frontline Imatinib.
Article in Indian journal of medical and paediatric oncology : official journal of Indian Society of Medical & Paediatric Oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
introductionThe Sokal and Hasford (Euro) scores were developed in the chemotherapy and interferon eras and are widely used as prognostic indicators in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Recently, European Treatment and Outcome Study (EUTOS) scoring system was introduced. Data on risk stratification in pediatric CML population was lacking due to its rarity (<3%).
objectiveTo study the effectiveness in predicting the response and outcome with three prognostic scores in pediatric CML-chronic phase patients on front line Imatinib. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the hospital records of newly diagnosed CML CP patients (aged ≤18 years) from 2006 to 2010 for their risk score, cytogenetic response at 18 months and event free survival (EFS) at the end of 4 years. Events include loss of hematological response, loss of cytological response, progression to accelerated/blast phase (AP/BC). All received free Imatinib under Gleevac international patient assistance program.
resultsData of 106 children was analyzed with median age of 13.5 (ranged 5-18 years) and male preponderance (M:F = 1.14:1). The distribution of children was 63%, 32% and 5% in Sokal low, intermediate and high risk respectively, 50%, 43% and 5% in Hasford/Euro low, intermediate and high risk respectively, 71% and 29% in EUTOS low and high risk respectively. The overall cumulative complete hematological response at the end of 3 month was 94%, and complete cytogenetic response at 12 months was 75%. The CCyR at 18 month was seen in 90%,74% and 83% among Sokal low, intermediate and high risk groups respectively, 83%, 86% and 83% among Hasford/Euro low, intermediate and high risk groups respectively, 84% and 86% EUTOS low and high risk groups respectively. The EFS at the end of 48 months was seen in 87%,79% and 83% among Sokal low, intermediate and high risk groups respectively, 83%, 86% and 83% among Hasford/Euro low, intermediate and high risk groups respectively, 86% and 80% EUTOS low and high risk groups respectively.
conclusionNone of the scoring systems predicted the response and outcome effectively in children with CML CP on front line Imatinib.
