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

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a form of leukemia in which there is an arrest of the maturation of the myeloid lineage at the promyelocyte stage. Although there is high early mortality due to coagulopathy, APL is now a curable disease with the use of arsenic trioxide (ATO) and all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Arsenic is weight-based for the treatment of APL, and many toxicities are dose-dependent, although there are no guidelines regarding dosing adjustments for obese patients. We present a case of a 34-year-old male with obesity and APL who developed arsenic-induced QTc prolongation and symptomatic sinus tachycardia while receiving treatment. Further research is needed to guide appropriate dosing for obese patients to determine if ideal body weight dosing is able to provide similar cure rates with fewer adverse events.
