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.

Abstract

backgroundSeveral studies have suggested that chemotherapy-free regimens consisting of blinatumomab and a BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor are highly effective in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL). However, the clinical and molecular characteristics that predict for relapse with these chemotherapy-free regimens are largely unknown.

methodsWe conducted a prospective phase II clinical trial of the combination of blinatumomab and ponatinib in 76 patients with newly diagnosed Ph + ALL. Patients received 12-15 doses of intrathecal chemotherapy as central nervous systemic (CNS) prophylaxis. The patterns of relapse and the clinical and molecular predictors of relapse were analyzed.

resultsWith a median follow-up of 29 months, the estimated 3-year event-free survival rate was 78% and the 3-year overall survival rate was 88%. Ten patients (13%) relapsed, with a median time to relapse of 18 months (range, 8-24 months). Six relapses occurred only in extramedullary sites (CNS, n = 5; peritoneum and lymph nodes, n = 1). CD19 expression remained high at relapse in all patients. On univariate analysis, factors associated with an increased risk of relapse were: white blood cell (WBC) ≥ 70 × 10

conclusionsWBC ≥ 70 × 10
