Association of Pretreatment Serum Indirect Bilirubin Levels With Prognostic and Therapeutic Value in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBilirubin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties, with an inverse relationship between its levels and cancer risk and prognosis. However, the prognostic value of serum bilirubin in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains uncertain.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed pretreatment serum total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) in 284 AML patients and 316 healthy controls. The prognostic significance of serum bilirubin levels was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model.
resultsPretreatment TBIL and IBIL levels were significantly lower in AML patients compared to controls. TBIL and IBIL levels were significantly higher in the CR/CRh/CRi group than in the non-CR/CRh/CRi group and increased significantly after chemotherapy. Elevated pretreatment TBIL and IBIL were associated with longer overall survival (OS) (p < 0.05) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p < 0.05). Pretreatment IBIL was an independent prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.28-0.79; p < 0.05) and PFS (HR, 0.53; 95% CI 0.33-0.85; p < 0.05).
conclusionElevated pretreatment IBIL levels are correlated with improved OS and PFS, acting as an independent favorable prognostic indicator for AML.
