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

backgroundRegulatory T cells (Tregs) modulate immune system by suppressing other immune cells. In current exploratory era of immunotherapy, the detailed enumeration data of Tregs cells in pediatric AML is lacking.

aimSerial assessment of Treg absolute values in pediatric AML at diagnosis and follow-up; and correlating with outcome. STUDY

designProspective study.

methodsStudy objectives were determining Tregs (CD4+CD25+Foxp3+) were assessed at diagnosis, post-induction, post-consolidation, 3 and 6 months follow-up and relapse in 30 consecutive pediatric AML patients.

resultsPatients with AML had higher baseline Treg frequencies than controls (P=0.0001). Female patients, WBC > 50,000 × 10

conclusionsThis first study in pediatric AML demonstrates that Tregs are increased at diagnosis; the increased number is significantly associated with female gender and high WBC count. Tregs decrease after induction chemotherapy as compared to their baseline value. Post CR, Treg absolute values continue to decrease significantly in those who stay in CR but not so in those who relapse; this suggests their possible role in leukemogenesis.
