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

The outcome of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) worsens with increasing age. Dichotomization into "younger" and "older" patients is clinically routine and often dictates treatment options. We aimed to delineate whether molecular genetic features and/or outcome measures support assorting patient populations by age, including division into "younger" and "older" groups. We analyzed 2823 adult AML patients enrolled onto frontline chemotherapy-based clinical protocols of two cooperative study groups from USA and Germany who were profiled molecularly via targeted sequencing platforms. Frequencies of gene mutations and cytogenetic findings were depicted in 5-year age increments. Clinical outcomes of 2756 AML patients were analyzed with respect to molecular features, genetic-risk groups and age. Age-associated distributions of gene mutations and cytogenetic abnormalities were similar in both cohorts. There was almost linear shortening of overall survival with increasing age among all patients (P < 0.001) and within 2022 European LeukemiaNet-defined genetic-risk groups, with survival decreasing as age increased (favorable-risk, P < 0.001; intermediate-risk, P < 0.001; adverse-risk, P < 0.001). Although mutational profiles and outcomes of the youngest patients differed from those of older patients, there was no age cut-off identifying "younger" and "older" patients. These findings support more age-associated flexibility for drug approval and trial eligibility.
