Acute myeloid leukemia presenting with hepatic dysfunction: Should induction be dose reduced?
Article in EJHaem, 2024. 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
The combination of de novo hepatic dysfunction and AML in a medically fit patient presents an unusual predicament. Cases present with obstructive jaundice and imaging typically shows diffuse hepatosplenomegaly, with some cases visualizing myeloid sarcomas causing biliary ductal dilatation. Guidelines for use of anthracyclines in hepatic dysfunction recommend dose reduction based on bilirubin blood levels, either to 50% or even omitting anthracycline. Randomized data however has shown that reduction of anthracycline in AML induction decreases overall survival and lowers remission rate. This case suggests, along withthe literature reviewed, that some medically fit patients with hepatic dysfunction benefit from and tolerate intensive induction therapy well without toxicity.
