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
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presents significant treatment challenges, particularly in refractory or relapsed (R/R) cases. This study evaluates the efficacy and outcomes of the salvage chemotherapy regimen containing etoposide 100 mg/m Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, data from 2011 to 2021 were analyzed for adult non-M3 AML patients in a tertiary referral center. Patients who underwent EM salvage chemotherapy after induction failure were included. Exclusion criteria were patients who died during induction, remission with induction, or ineligible for salvage chemotherapy. Results: Out of 449 non-M3 AML patients, 41 (9.1%) received the EM regimen. Of these, 19 (46.3%) showed no response, 5 (12.2%) achieved partial remission (PR), and 17 (41.5%) attained complete remission (CR). The median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 6 months (95% CI 2.3-9.6), with 12, 24, and 36-month OS rates of 31%, 23%, and 15%, respectively. Patients achieving CR or PR had significantly better outcomes compared to refractory patients. Patients who did not receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) had a median OS of 7 months, while it was not reached for those who did undergo HSCT. At 36 months, the OS rate was significantly higher in patients who underwent HSCT than in those who did not (71.4% vs. 8.3% Conclusions: The EM regimen offers a potential pathway to remission for R/R non-M3 AML patients. However, the outcomes are heavily influenced by patient-specific factors and subsequent treatment strategies such as HSCT.
