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

backgroundThe ratio of C-reactive protein to albumin (CAR) is an inflammatory marker that has been demonstrated to be a simple and reliable prognostic factor in several solid tumours and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). However, no studies have investigated the prognostic value of the CAR in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). OBJECTIVES AND

methodsWe retrospectively analysed 212 newly diagnosed non-M3 AML patients. Using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) method, the optimal cut-off value for CAR was determined. We investigated the correlations of the pretreatment CAR levels with clinical characteristics, treatment response of induction chemotherapy, overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS). We also assessed the prognostic value of the CAR compared with other inflammation-based prognostic parameters by the area under the curve (AUC).

resultsAccording to the ROC curve, the optimal cut-off value of CAR was 1.015. CAR was associated with age, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, albumin levels, ferritin levels, bone marrow blast percentage, French-American-British (FAB) classification, immunophenotype and 2017 European Leukemia Net (2017 ELN) risk stratification. Importantly, we found that high CAR was a powerful indicator of a lower complete remission (CR) rate (

conclusionCAR is a simple and effective prognostic marker in patients with AML. It could be an additional prognostic factor that help further precise the current risk stratification of non-M3 AML, particularly for patients in intermediate risk stratification and those aged ≤65 years and those who did not undergo HSCT.
