Influence of Minimal Residual Disease at Day 15 of Induction Therapy on Survival of Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Article in Acta medica academica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of minimal residual disease (MRD) on day 15 of induction therapy (d15) on the treatment outcome in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 74 patients (1-18 years) with ALL, who were treated at the Pediatric Clinic of the University Clinical Center Banja Luka from January 2011 to May 2021. All patients were treated according to ALL IC-BFM 2009 protocol. MRD on bone marrow was assessed d15, using the multiparameter flow cytometry method (FCM).
resultsOf all, 59.46% of patients had MRD d15 0.1-10%, MRD<0.1% had 18.92% of patients, and 21.62% had MRD >10%. Patients with the lowest MRD had the highest 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (89.5% and 91% respectively) and the lowest cumulative risk for relapse or death (9.7% and 8.1%), in contrast to patients with MRD>10% in whom OS was 80.0%, and the risk of recurrence is 20%. Predicted MRD d15 was significantly associated with prednisone response assessed in the peripheral blood on day 8 (P<0.001) and statistically significantly positive correlation (r=0.498; P<0.001) was found.
conclusionMRD measurement d15 has a great prognostic significance for patients in the standard and high risk groups, but not for patients in the intermediate risk group. The introduction of additional testing is necessary for better identification of patients with an increased risk of disease recurrence.
