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

The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for early death (ED) in acute promyelocitic leukemia (APL) patients.Clinical records of 49 APL patients who suffered ED were divided into 4 groups: death before treatment or within the first 3 days (immediate death; iED group), death during treatment at least 3 days after commencement (ED after treatment), low/intermediate risk, and high-risk groups.White blood cell (WBC) count, high-risk cases, prothrombin time (PT) prolongation, international society on thrombosis and hemostasis (ISTH) scores (P < .05), bleeding (P = .05), and death due to severe hemorrhage (P = .010) were higher in iED group than ED after treatment. And the time from onset to initial hospitalization or death was significantly shorter (P < .05) in iED patients. LDH level (P = .002), PT prolongation (P = .014), and incidence of grades 3 or 4 bleeding (P = .049) were higher in high-risk group than in ED and low/intermediate-risk groups, while the times from onset to the initial hospitalization or death were lower for ED patients in high-risk group (P = .037).We found that different types of EDs have different clinical features. A high WBC count contributes to the occurrence of more ED, which is usually not associated with delay of diagnosis and hospitalization. Current therapeutic strategies to reduce the incidence of ED in these cases are not adequate and will benefit from focused research attention.
