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

This study examined the clinical, genetic, and treatment response characteristics of pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated according to the 2004 and 2012 AML-BFM protocols. This study aimed to determine survival outcomes and the factors affecting them, and to compare the results with international data. This study retrospectively evaluated pediatric AML patients aged < 18 years in eastern Turkey between January 2010 and December 2023. The AML-BFM 2004 and AML-BFM 2012 protocols were applied to the patients. The risk groups of the patients were determined based on their responses to chemotherapy and genetic results. Survival analyses were conducted using the Kaplan–Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used. Forty-nine patients were included in this study. The median age at diagnosis was 12 years, and 51% of the patients were female. The most common morphological subtype was AML M3, accounting for 32.7% of cases. Complete remission was achieved in 81.6% of patients after induction therapy, whereas 12.2% died during this phase. Relapse occurred in 26.5% of patients. Overall, 38.8% of patients died. AML-M3 patients had a median overall survival (OS) of 113 months, which was better than that of non-AML-M3 patients. Five-year survival rates were 94% for AML-M3 patients and 43% for non-AML-M3 patients. Lower survival rates were observed in patients with leukocyte counts ≥ 50 × 10⁹/L, low hemoglobin levels, non-AML-M3, and poor induction response. Mortality was higher in patients younger than two years and > 14 years. There were no significant differences in mortality, survival, or relapse rates between the AML-BFM 2004 and AML-BFM 2012 protocols (p > 0.005). No significant association was observed between mortality and leukapheresis. Further research should focus on developing personalized treatments for high-risk patients and those without non-AML-M3, given their poorer survival rates than those of AML-M3 patients.
