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

Relapsed refractory leukemia represents a difficult-to-treat population of patients. The balance between perceived benefit and potential side effects along with the significant financial burden of managing multidrug-resistant sepsis are factors that determine the choice of salvage regimen. Here, we present our experience with the combination of fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor with bortezomib. The morphological complete response rate was 58% with 50% of the patients achieving complete remission. With only three patients requiring intensive care unit admission during remission induction, 66.6% of the patients went on to undergo successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Thus, it proved to be a possible, safer alternative to other salvage regimens, while enabling a significant percentage of patients to achieve remission and proceed to allogenic stem cell transplantation.
