Predictors of the Overall Survival with Azacitidine Monotherapy in Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Ineligible for Intensive Therapy.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective The prognostic factors for azacitidine in untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients ineligible for intensive therapy remain unknown. To identify prognostic factors for azacitidine monotherapy and assist clinicians in deciding whether to use azacitidine monotherapy or other therapies. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 27 patients with AML who were newly treated with azacitidine between 2013 and 2021 at our hospital. We evaluated potential predictors based on the overall survival (OS). Results A univariate analysis found that an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) ≥2 and platelet count (Plt) <27,000/μL had a significant negative influence on the OS. A multivariate analysis confirmed that both factors had significant independent adverse effects on the OS. An ECOG PS ≥2 and Plt <27,000/μL were thus assigned 1 point each, and a clinical scoring system was created. Log-rank testing showed that the 0-point group (n=12) had a median OS of 680 days [95% confidence interval (CI) 220-898 days] and a 1-year OS rate of 80.8% (95% CI 42.3-94.9%), the 1-point group (n=11) had a median OS of 90 days (95% CI 62-345 days) and a 1-year OS rate of 18.2% (95% CI 2.9-44.2%), and the 2-point group (n=4) had a median OS of 82 days [95% CI 19-not applicable (NA) days] and a 1-year OS rate of 0% (95% CI NA-NA). The p value of 0.00008 indicated that this scoring was useful. Conclusion The ECOG PS and Plt can be used to predict the OS with azacitidine monotherapy in untreated AML patients ineligible for intensive therapy.
