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

This single-center, retrospective study evaluated age as a risk factor for relapsed/refractory disease and/or death in 153 children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The study sample included children near the 10-year age cutoff for high-risk disease (6.0-13.9 years at diagnosis) and without other high-risk features (high white cell count, unfavorable cytogenetics). Children 10.0-13.9 years treated per high-risk protocols did not have inferior outcomes compared with children aged 6.0-9.9 years initiating treatment per standard-risk protocols. The study indicates that, in the era of cytogenetics, an age threshold of 10 years might not be an independent prognostic marker. Multicenter analyses are needed.
