Neurocognitive deficits in survivors of childhood acute myeloid leukemia.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundAlthough treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) contains neurotoxic agents, studies investigating neurocognitive outcomes in children with AML are sparse. We evaluated late cognitive effects in children treated with a high-dose cytarabine based regimen, focusing on general intellectual ability and specific neurocognitive domains.
methodsWe evaluated 12 survivors of childhood AML who were treated between 2006 and 2016 and completed the Wechsler Intelligence Scales. One-sample t-tests were used to compare full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) and primary index scores to norms. The overall effect of index scores and subtests was examined with one-way ANOVA. Univariate analyses and multiple regression models examined demographic and clinical characteristics associated with FSIQ.
resultsParticipants who underwent the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children demonstrated impairment on working memory index and participants who underwent the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale showed low score in the subtests that reflect working memory, whereas they exhibited no statistical differences versus the population means for FSIQ. There were no significant differences in the overall effect of index scores and subtests. On univariate analysis, FSIQ were related to time since diagnosis and age at assessment, and both were significant predictors of FSIQ on multiple linear regression.
conclusionsSurvivors of childhood AML exhibited impairment of working memory, even if their FSIQ was within the normal range. Difficulties in specific cognitive domains are associated with reduced quality of life. It is important to identify survivors who are at risk and provide tailored interventions.
