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

backgroundRelapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (RR-AML) still poses major treatment concerns. Current treatments include high doses of cytarabine or fludarabine in combination with cytarabine and G-CSF (FLAG), but provide mixed results. Low-dose decitabine, a hypomethylating drug, in combination with aclarubicin and cytarabine (DAC) has shown safety and efficacy in the treatment of AML; however, clinical data are limited for the treatment of RR-AML.

methodsIn this study, we retrospectively compared the response and safety of DAC vs FLAG for RR-AML patients.

resultsFor the 35 patients with RR-AML enrolled in this study, the overall response rates reached 100% and 55.6% in the DAC group and FLAG group, respectively (

conclusionDAC treatment was also more effective in those patients with poor prognosis, suggesting that DAC resulted in a better outcome for RR-AML treatment. In conclusion, in our study, DAC therapy provided more safety and effectiveness and lower toxicity in the treatment of RR-AML compared to FLAG therapy.
