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.

Abstract

We conducted a single-arm, phase 2 trial (German-Austrian Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study Group [AMLSG] 16-10) to evaluate midostaurin with intensive chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation (HCT) and a 1-year midosta urin maintenance therapy in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD). Patients 18 to 70 years of age with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD-positive AML were eligible. Primary and key secondary endpoints were event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Results were compared with a historical cohort of 415 patients treated on 5 prior AMLSG trials; statistical analysis was performed using a double-robust adjustment with propensity score weighting and covariate adjustment. Results were also compared with patients (18-59 years) treated on the placebo arm of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 10603/RATIFY trial. The trial accrued 440 patients (18-60 years, n = 312; 61-70 years, n = 128). In multivariate analysis, EFS was significantly in favor of patients treated within the AMLSG 16-10 trial compared with the AMLSG control (hazard ratio [HR], 0.55; P < .001); both in younger (HR, 0.59; P < .001) and older patients (HR, 0.42; P < .001). Multivariate analysis also showed a significant beneficial effect on OS compared with the AMLSG control (HR, 0.57; P < .001) as well as to the CALGB 10603/RATIFY trial (HR, 0.71; P = .005). The treatment effect of midostaurin remained significant in sensitivity analysis including allogeneic HCT as a time-dependent covariate. Addition of midostaurin to chemotherapy was safe in younger and older patients. In comparison with historical controls, the addition of midostaurin to intensive therapy led to a significant improvement in outcome in younger and older patients with AML and FLT3-ITD. This trial is registered at clinicaltrialsregistry.eu as Eudra-CT number 2011-003168-63 and at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01477606.
