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

purposeCurrent care guidelines for children with AML recommend hospitalization during severe neutropenia. However, selected patients discharged before neutrophil recovery have similar chemotherapy course-specific bacteremia and mortality rates to those who remain hospitalized. On the basis of published literature, we developed a toolkit to guide outpatient care after myelosuppressive AML chemotherapy and piloted its implementation at a single institution. We present the pilot clinical and implementation outcomes.

methodsThe AML Care at Home toolkit includes a discharge eligibility assessment tool and outpatient management guidelines for pediatric patients with AML and was implemented on November 15, 2022. Toolkit reach, defined as the proportion of postinduction 1 courses with toolkit use (target: 60%), was the coprimary implementation outcome, and total inpatient days per course was the coprimary clinical outcome. Chart abstractions were used to ascertain total inpatient days per course and other clinical outcome designations.

resultsDuring this pilot implementation program, 22 patients underwent 48 postinduction 1 chemotherapy courses. The toolkit was used in 33 (68.8%) courses. Appropriate toolkit use allowed for early discharge in 21 (43.8%) courses and directed inpatient recovery in 11 (22.9%). Median total inpatient days were markedly fewer for toolkit-guided early-discharge courses (8 days, IQR, 5.5-14.5) than toolkit-guided inpatient-only courses (26 days, IQR, 22-39) or when the toolkit was not used as intended (31 days, IQR, 25.3-34.8).

conclusionPilot implementation of the AML Care at Home toolkit exceeded our target reach goal and led to fewer inpatient days per course than expected on the basis of previous studies of outpatient neutropenia management. These data reflect the utility of a toolkit created on the basis of published data to identify and support appropriate patients for early hospital discharge and safe outpatient monitoring.
