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

objectivesAcute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive haematological cancer associated with significant humanistic impact. The current study assessed how the general public in the United Kingdom (UK) values AML health states.

methodsThe composite time trade-off (cTTO) methodology was employed to elicit health state utilities in AML. Pertinent AML literature related to symptom and quality-of-life impact including physical, functional and emotional well-being, as well as the safety profile of AML treatments, were taken into consideration for drafting health state descriptions. Ten health states included in the study were newly diagnosed AML, induction, consolidation, maintenance, long-term follow-up, relapsed/refractory, stem-cell transplant (SCT) procedure, SCT recovery, SCT long-term follow-up with complications and SCT long-term follow-up without complications. The descriptions were validated by haematologists and nurse specialists for clinical accuracy and completeness. A total of 210 individuals from the general UK population participated in the cTTO interviews. Descriptive statistics were computed for health state utility values.

resultsThe mean age of the participants was 44.0 years (standard deviation [SD] 14.9, range 18-81) and comprised 129 (61.4%) female participants. The utility values ranged from 0.94 (SD 0.13) for SCT long-term follow-up without complications to - 0.21 (SD 0.62) for the SCT procedure.

conclusionsThe study provides health utilities for a range of AML health states, with the SCT procedure health state being valued worse than death. The utilities obtained in this study can be employed as inputs in cost-effectiveness analyses of AML therapies.
