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

IntroductionWhile continual advancements in acute myeloid leukemia have augmented response rates and survival, outcomes in clinical trials may not correlate with real-world practice as trials may underrepresent individuals with comorbidities, decreased performance status, and older age. Additionally, clinical trials may underrepresent certain ethnicities, and disparities based on ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and insurance have been demonstrated in acute myeloid leukemia.MethodsWe performed a retrospective chart review of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia who were treated at Harbor-UCLA from 2014 to 2022 to examine patient characteristics, management patterns, and outcomes in a safety net hospital setting.ResultsThe median age was 56 years old (range 18-84). In regards to risk stratification, 22%, 33%, and 41% had favorable, intermediate, and adverse risk acute myeloid leukemia, respectively. The most common induction regimens included 7 + 3 (55%), azacitidine (10%), azacitidine + venetoclax (7%), and 7 + 3 + midostaurin (7%). The complete remission rate was 51%. Among patients who received intensive induction chemotherapy, 15% underwent re-induction with a second cycle, 51% received consolidation therapy, and 5% received maintenance therapy with a targeted agent. Overall, 12% of patients received allogeneic stem cell transplant. Median overall survival was 12.2 months, and 5-year overall survival was 18%.ConclusionsSuboptimal response rates and survival in this population may be related to low rates of re-induction and allogeneic transplant in addition to high rates of adverse cytogenetics, secondary acute myeloid leukemia, and supportive care only. Efforts to increase access to clinical trials, novel therapies, and transplants for diverse and underinsured populations are essential.
