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

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a rare disease in children, accounting for approximately 3% of leukemias in children and adolescents, with an annual incidence of 1 case per million children in western countries. This study was conducted, at PGIMER, Chandigarh. Ninety eight patients, 48 in children and adolescents group, and 50 in adult group were included in the study. Their hematological profiles along with the bone marrow findings were analyzed. The diagnosis of CML was confirmed by cytogenetics and/or molecular analysis. The complete hematological response (CHR) was analyzed at 3 months and cytogentic response (CgR) at 12 months after starting imatinib therapy. Compared to adults, pediatric and adolescent patients were more symptomatic at presentation (93.5 vs. 75%). Among symptomatic patients, massive splenomegaly (>10 cm), higher total leucocyte and platelet counts were seen more frequently in pediatric patients. The most common transcript in both groups was e14a2. The distribution of pediatric and adolescent cases in Sokal, Hasford and EUTOS score, showed only statistically significant difference for low risk Sokal group, which had more patients in pediatric group. Compared to adults, pediatric and adolescent patients had similar CHR rate (91.3 vs. 92%), but showed lesser major CgR rate (90.9 vs. 95.5%) however, this was not statistically significant.
