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

backgroundAmong malignant diseases which develop during childhood, hematological cancers, such as leukemias and lymphomas, are the most common. Outcomes have greatly improved due to the refinement of multiagent chemotherapy regimens that include enhanced asparaginase therapy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate our experiences related to the analytical and clinical significance of determining l-Asparaginase activity.

methodsSince 2016, the Laboratory of the Children's Hospital Zagreb has routinely measured l-Asparaginase activity and to date, has measured more than 280 examples of activity in a total of 57 children with hematological malignancy treated at the Pediatric Oncology Department of the Children's Hospital Zagreb. Three asparaginase products were available: native

resultsOut of the fifty-seven children, seven had an allergic reaction (12.3%), five (8.8%) had silent inactivation, and seven (12.3%) developed acute pancreatitis. Allergic reactions and silent inactivation were more common in children treated with native

conclusionsThe monitoring of l-Asparaginase activity may help to optimize therapy by identifying patients with 'silent inactivation', and/or by dose correction when l-Asparaginase activity is too high (slow elimination).
