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

introductionAcute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a haematological disease associated with a dismal prognosis, despite major progress made in recent years in terms of antileukemic agents and supportive care.

methodsWe investigated the results of the intensive treatment of 133 fit AML patients (

resultsWe included 79 male and 54 female patients with a median age of 53 years (range 18-70). Molecular biology analysis was available for 82.7% of patients, whereas karyotype analysis was only available for 33% of patients. The median overall survival (OS) was 8.7 months, and the disease-free survival rate was 26.3% at a median follow-up of 33.7 months. The complete remission (CR) rate after induction was 48.9% for all patients and 61.9% for patients who were assessable (excluding patients who died before being assessed for response). Twelve patients underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), with the median OS not reached. Early mortality (EM), defined as death during the first 30 days after admission, was 17.3%, with the main cause of death being septic shock (78.3%). Elderly patients (≥60 years of age) had a lower OS, more primary refractory disease, and higher rates of early mortality.

conclusionComplete remission rates and OS in our cohort were lower than in other reports. Early mortality was unexpectedly high, mainly due to infections, which were the main causes of death in our cohort.
