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

A dose-intensified multi-agent chemotherapy regimen called VCAP-AMP-VECP was investigated in Japan as front-line therapy for patients with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL). Although a prospective randomized controlled study showed that VCAP-AMP-VECP was superior to CHOP, the trial was rather small and no subsequent studies confirmed the benefit of VCAP-AMP-VECP over CHOP. We conducted a retrospective analysis of transplant-eligible patients with ATL who received only VCAP-AMP-VECP or CHOP, incorporating inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using propensity scoring. Overall, 947 and 513 patients were treated with VCAP-AMP-VECP and CHOP, respectively. The median follow-up of surviving patients was 1006 days. The crude probabilities of 2-year overall survival (OS) for patients in the VCAP-AMP-VECP and CHOP groups were 31.2% and 24.6%, respectively (P < 0.001). Stratified by risk group according to the modified ATL-prognostic index score at diagnosis, the crude probabilities of 2-year OS in the VCAP-AMP-VECP and CHOP groups were 39.8 and 45.0% in the low-risk group (P = 0.69), 32.2 and 21.6% in the intermediate-risk group (P < 0.001), and 17.2 and 6.2% in the high-risk group (P = 0.005). Our current analysis suggests that VCAP-AMP-VECP regimen is a preferable front-line therapy in patients with aggressive ATL in intermediate- and high-risk groups.
