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.

Abstract

The pivotal RATIFY study demonstrated midostaurin (50 mg twice daily) with standard chemotherapy significantly reduced mortality in adult patients (<60 years) with newly diagnosed (ND) FLT3mut acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Considering that AML often present in older patients who show poor response to chemotherapy, this open-label, multicenter phase 3b trial was designed to further assess safety and efficacy of midostaurin plus chemotherapy in induction, consolidation, and maintenance monotherapy in young (≤60 years) and older (>60 years) patients with FLT3mut ND-AML. Compared with RATIFY, this study extended midostaurin treatment from 14 days to 21 days, substituted anthracyclines (idarubicin or daunorubicin), and introduced variation in standard combination chemotherapy dosing ("7+3" or "5+2" in more fragile patients). Total 301 patients (47.2% >60 years and 82.7% with FLT3-ITDmut) of median age 59 years entered induction phase. Overall, 295 patients (98.0%) had at least 1 adverse event (AE), including 254 patients (84.4%) with grade ≥3 AE. The grade ≥3 serious AEs occurred in 134 patients. No difference was seen in AE frequency between age groups, but grade ≥3AE frequency was higher in older patients. Overall, complete remission (CR) rate including incomplete hematologic recovery (CR + CRi) (80.7% [95% confidence interval, 75.74-84.98]) was comparable between age groups (≤60 years [83.5%]; >60 to ≤70 years [82.5%]; in patients >70 years [64.1%]) and the type of anthracycline used in induction. CR + CRi rate was lower in males (76.4%) than females (84.4%). Overall, the safety and efficacy of midostaurin remains consistent with previous findings, regardless of age, sex, or induction regimen. The trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03379727.
