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

Liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine (CPX-351) improved overall survival (OS) compared with 7+3 chemotherapy in older patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML); to date, there have been no randomized studies in younger patients. The high-risk cohort of the UK NCRI AML19 trial (ISRCTN78449203) compared CPX-351 with FLAG-Ida in younger adults with newly diagnosed adverse cytogenetic AML or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). A total of 189 patients were randomized (median age, 56 years). Per clinical criteria, 49% of patients had de novo AML, 20% had secondary AML, and 30% had high-risk MDS. MDS-related cytogenetics were present in 73% of the patients, with a complex karyotype in 49%. TP53 was the most common mutated gene, in 43%. Myelodysplasia-related gene mutations were present in 75 (44%) patients. The overall response rate (CR + CRi) after course 2 was 64% and 76% for CPX-351 and FLAG-Ida, respectively. There was no difference in OS (13.3 months vs 11.4 months) or event-free survival in multivariable analysis. However, relapse-free survival was significantly longer with CPX-351 (median 22.1 vs 8.35 months). There was no difference between the treatment arms in patients with clinically defined secondary AML or those with MDS-related cytogenetic abnormalities; however, an exploratory subgroup of patients with MDS-related gene mutations had significantly longer OS with CPX-351 (median 38.4 vs 16.3 months). In conclusion, the OS of younger patients with adverse risk AML/MDS was not significantly different between CPX-351 and FLAG-Ida.
