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

backgroundAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults, and chemotherapy remains the most commonly used treatment approach for this group of hematological disorders. Drug resistance is one of the predictors of unfavorable prognosis for leukemia patients.

aimThe purpose of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of the survival rate in AML patients according to age, tumor status, and chemotherapy regimen received and to analyze the therapy response of AML patients depending on the treatment received, initial responsiveness of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs measured in vitro at diagnosis and expression of immunological markers.

methodsThe survival of AML patients (n = 127) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Drug sensitivity of tumor cells of AML patients (n = 37) and the expression of immunological markers were evaluated by the WST test and flow cytometry, respectively. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman's rank order correlation coefficient.

resultsWe found the treatment regimen to be the defining factor in the patient survival rate. In addition, the initial responsiveness of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs measured in vitro at diagnosis correlated with the therapy response of AML: patients with high tumor cell sensitivity to particular cytotoxic drugs demonstrated a good response to treatment including these drugs, and patients with initial resistance of tumor cells to a particular chemotherapeutic agents and received it according to the clinical protocols demonstrated a poor response to antitumor therapy. Correlations of drug resistance in leukemic cells with the expression of immature and aberrant immunophenotype markers as established unfavorable prognostic factors confirm our assumption.

conclusionThe evaluation of the responsiveness of tumor cells to chemotherapy in vitro at diagnosis can be a useful tool for predicting the response of leukemia patients to planned chemotherapy.
