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

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare disease among children. A retrospective study was conducted from November 2002 to March 2019 at a single institution in China. A total of 36 pediatric CML patients (25 male and 11 female) were enrolled. Median follow-up time was 51 months (range 8-144), and 5-year overall survival and event-free survival were 95.5 ± 4.4% and 88.9 ± 6.0%, respectively. Among the 25 patients whose response to imatinib mesylate (IM) was regularly monitored, 92.0% achieved complete hematologic response at 3 months, 80.0% achieved complete cytogenetic response at 12 months, and 64.0% achieved major molecular response at 18 months after IM therapy. A higher WBC count at diagnosis was associated with failure to achieve early molecular response (EMR). Height standard deviation score after long-term treatment was significantly and positively correlated with age at diagnosis and at the start of IM therapy. Overall, IM therapy was effective in treating pediatric CML, and WBC count at diagnosis might be an ideal predictor of EMR. Moreover, retardation of height and weight growth due to IM tended to affect patients younger than 9 years old at diagnosis, and longitudinal growth might normalize further into treatment.
