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 Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG) Ph+ALL202 study reported a high complete remission (CR) rate for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) patients treated with imatinib-combined chemotherapy. However, the long-term treatment efficacy remains uncertain. Here, we report a final analysis of the JALSG Ph+ALL202 study. The outcomes were compared with those of the JALSG ALL93 and ALL97 studies, which were conducted in the pre-imatinib era. Ninety-nine newly diagnosed Ph+ALL patients were enrolled in Ph+ALL202 (median age, 45 years; median follow-up, 4.5 years). CR was achieved in 96/99 (97%) patients. Fifty-nine of these 96 patients (61%) underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in their first CR (CR1). The 5-year overall and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 50 and 43%, respectively, which were significantly higher compared to those in the pre-imatinib era (15 and 19%, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that imatinib administration, allo-HSCT in CR1, and a white blood cell count < 30 × 10
