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

Long-term survival for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children improved over the last three decades up to 80-90% of affected patients. Consequently, the quality of life of survivors has become increasingly important. This study analyses the clinical features and outcome of 119 children with ALL, focusing on the quality of long-term survival in a subset of 22 patients over 18 years of age. Among this group, the 10-year event-free survival and overall survival were 83.1% (C.I. 74.0-89.2) and 88.4% (C.I. 80.9-93.1), respectively. Treatment related long-term medical complications were reported only in 2 patients (9.1%). Secondary school was completed successfully in 20 of 22 patients (89.9%). The remaining 2 patients were still attending at the time of the analysis. In conclusion, current treatment for ALL is well tolerated and does not compromise significantly the quality of life of survivors.
