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

backgroundPrevious studies showed that FLT3 inhibitors played an important role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy. However, discrepancies remain regarding the association between FLT3 inhibitors use and prognosis of AML patients in clinical trials.

aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of FLT3 inhibitors on the treatment of AML in a systematic review and meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND

methodsPubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies published before August 2017 that used FLT3 inhibitors in AML. Fixed- and random-effect models were used, and between-study heterogeneity was assessed.

resultsA total of 26 studies fitting our inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. The FLT3 status of patients and main treatment outcomes including overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival (RFS), complete remission (CR), and overall response rate (ORR) after therapy were extracted. Five studies comparing addition of FLT3 inhibitors and placebo or blank control to chemotherapy were analyzed in Part I, showing improved OS (hazard ratio [HR]=0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.75-0.99,

conclusionOur study showed that combined use of FLT3 inhibitors improved OS and that the FLT3 status of AML patients could affect their sensitivity to FLT3 inhibitors in terms of CR and ORR.
