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

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematologic malignancy with dismal clinical outcomes. Conventional chemotherapies such cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) and hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone alternating with high-dose cytarabine and methotrexate (CVAD) have been commonly used for the BPDCN treatment until a recent study showed promising outcomes in patients treated with SL-401 (Tagraxofusp). In this single-institution retrospective study, we identified a total of 49 consecutive BPDCN patients. Among 42 patients who received treatment, hyper-CVAD regimen was associated with higher complete response rate compared with CHOP-based regimens or SL-401 (91% vs 50% vs 50%), although the difference did not achieve statistical significance. Furthermore, there was no significant overall survival (OS) difference between patients treated with SL-401 vs other chemotherapies as their first-line treatment (hazard ratio = 1.597; 95% CI, 0.460-5.548; P = .431). Of note, patients who received allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) had significantly longer OS (hazard ratio = 0.160; 95% CI, 0.0453-0.56; P = .041). Extent of disease (skin vs bone marrow vs both) or younger age (<60 years old) did not have significant prognostic impact on OS. Collectively, our study confirmed the survival benefit of allo-SCT and suggests that conventional and intensive chemotherapies such as CHOP and hyper-CVAD as well as SL-401 would be comparable first-line choice for the BPDCN patients.
