Arsenic trioxide dose capping to decrease toxicity in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Article in Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combination therapy yields high complete remission and disease-free survival rates in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). ATO is dosed on actual body weight and high ATO doses in overweight patients may contribute to increased toxicity. We performed a retrospective, two-center study comparing toxicities in patients who received the Lo-Coco et al ATRA/ATO regimen with capped ATO, ≤10 mg/dose, and non-capped ATO, >10 mg/dose. A total of 44 patients were included; 15 received doses ≤10 mg and 29 received >10 mg. During induction, there was no difference in the incidence of grade ≥3 hepatotoxicity, grade ≥3 QTc prolongation, neurotoxicity, and cardiac toxicity between groups. In consolidation, patients receiving >10 mg/dose experienced a greater incidence of neurotoxicity (66.7% vs 22.2%; p = 0.046). Capping doses saved $24634.37/patient and reduced waste of partially-used vials. At a median follow-up of 27 months, no disease relapses occurred in either group. This represents an opportunity to improve the safety profile of this highly effective regimen.
