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 study was designed to determine the associations of asymmetric (ADMA) and symmetric (SDMA) dimethylarginines plasma concentrations with all-cause mortality in patients with hematological malignancies. 33 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 31 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (nHL), 32 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and 48 patients without malignancy were enrolled into the study. Each patient was followed until death or for at least 14.5 months (range: 14.5-53). Median ADMA and SDMA were significantly elevated in AML, nHL and CLL compared to controls (ADMA: 1.36, 1.24, 1.03, 0.55 μmol/l respectively, p<0.0001; SDMA: 0.86, 0.76, 0.71, 0.52 μmol/l respectively, p<0.0001). High ADMA and SDMA were associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality in CLL group (Hazard ratio (HR) for ADMA: 3.05, 95% CI:1.58-5.88, p = 0.001; HR for SDMA: 4.71, 95% CI:1.91-11.58, p = 0.001). Our study suggests that ADMA and SDMA could be novel prognostic factors for all-cause mortality in CLL patients.
