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

objectivePreclinical evidence and clinical trials have suggested synergistic effects of epigenetic modifiers in combination with cytotoxic agents for the treatment of leukemia. However, their efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) remains unclear.

methodsClinical data of R/R AML patients who received a CDCAG regimen (chidamide, decitabine, cytarabine, aclarubicin, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) from July 1, 2018 to October 31, 2021 at our center were retrospectively assessed, and the safety and efficacy of the CDCAG regimen were evaluated. Patients were followed up until November 30, 2021, with a median follow-up of 21.6 months (95% CI: 10.0-33.2 months).

resultsA total of 67 patients were enrolled. Two patients died within 3 weeks after the initiation, and therefore only 65 patients underwent the assement for clinical response and survival. It was found that 56.9% patients achieved complete remission with a median overall survival (OS) of 9.6 months. The median OS of responders was 25.9 months, while that of non-responders was 5.0 months (P<0.0001). Patients with gene mutations had a superior overall response rate (ORR) (80.4% vs. 45.5%, P=0.043) compared to those without gene mutations. The presence of DNA methyltransferase 3 A (DNMT3A), ten-eleven translocation-2 (TET2), and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/2) mutations did not affect the response rate (88.2% vs. 68.9%, P=0.220) and reflected a better OS (not attained vs. 9.0 months, P=0.05). The most common non-hematologic adverse events were pulmonary infection (73.1%), followed by febrile neutropenia (23.9%) and sepsis (19.4%).

conclusionsThe CDCAG regimen was effective and well-tolerated in R/R AML patients, increasing the potential for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Moreover, patients with DNMT3A, TET2, and IDH1/2 mutations might benefit from this regimen.
