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

Treatment of acute myeloblastic leukemia in children, adolescents and young adults (AYA) is a challenge in low-income countries. To evaluate treatment outcomes of children (≤ 15 years) and AYA (15-30 years) diagnosed with novo AML and treated in a single center according to the AML-MA 2011 protocol. From January 2011 to December 2015, eligible patients (age ≤ 30 years) with novo AML had been enrolled on a uniform treatment protocol. The diagnosis was confirmed according to the FAB classification using the WHO 2008 criteria. Patients with WBC ≥ 50 G/L had pretreated 4 days of hydroxyurea followed by two inductions and two consolidations. Supportive care consisted of transfusion of labile blood products, antibiotics and antifungals, and patient and family education by the hygiene team. 155 patients were recruited, 41 were < 15 years old (22 boys, median age 7.8 years). Of the 114 AYA enrolled, (48 women, median age 23 years). Complete remission after two inductions was 28/41 (68.3%) of the children, including 100% of the children in the favorable group and 71/114 (62.3%) of the AYA, 22 of whom (68.7%) were in the favorable group. The number of deaths among children was 6 (14.6%). The evaluation of the AML-MA-2011 National Protocol in the age groups of children and AYA reveals that the objective of treatment is almost achieved in terms of complete remission in the two age groups.
