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

Leukemia is the most frequent malignancy in children and adolescents, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as the most common subtypes. Minimal residual disease (MRD) measured by flow cytometry (FCM) has proven to be a strong prognostic factor in ALL as well as in AML. Machine learning techniques have been emerging in the field of automated MRD quantification with the objective of superseding subjective and time-consuming manual analysis of FCM-MRD data. In contrast to ALL, where supervised multi-class classification methods have been successfully deployed for MRD detection, AML poses new challenges: AML is rarer (with fewer available training data) than ALL and much more heterogeneous in its immunophenotypic appearance, where one-class classification (anomaly detection) methods seem more suitable. In this work, a new semi-supervised approach based on the UMAP algorithm for MRD detection utilizing only labels of blast free FCM samples is presented. The method is tested on a newly gathered set of AML FCM samples and results are compared to state-of-the-art methods. We reach a median F1-score of 0.794, while providing a transparent classification pipeline with explainable results that facilitates inter-disciplinary work between medical and technical experts. This work shows that despite several issues yet to overcome, the merits of automated MRD quantification can be fully exploited also in AML.
