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

purposeHydration before starting high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) ensures good renal perfusion and alkaline urinary pH. The duration of pre-hydration is not uniform across protocols. We compared 6-h versus 12-h of pre-hydration for HD-MTX therapy in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) at our centre where serial MTX level monitoring is not feasible.

methodsThis randomised cross-over study consecutively enrolled children  < 12 years with ALL receiving HD-MTX. Children with pre-existing renal disease or those exposed to nephrotoxic drugs were excluded. Two groups receiving 6-h versus 12-h pre-hydration on alternate basis in same patient (each exposed to four cycles of 2-5 g/m

resultsTotal 136 HD-MTX cycles in 34 patients (age range 5-144 months) were evaluated. Nephrotoxicity [2/68 (2.9%) in 6-h versus 1/68 (1.5%) in 12-h] and HMT incidence was comparable in two pre-hydration groups. Median MTX36 levels were not affected by duration of hydration irrespective of administered dose of HD-MTX. Median serum creatinine at baseline, post-pre-hydration and at 36-h post start of HD-MTX were comparable.

conclusionReduction of pre-hydration duration does not affect HD-MTX induced nephrotoxicity and MTX36 levels in children < 12 years.
