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

Introduction: Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an uncommon hematopoietic stem cell disease known to have an underlying somatic Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-institution cohort study of 36 treatment-naïve patients with HCL treated at the University of Colorado Hospital. Eighteen patients received intermittent weekly cladribine (intermittent cladribine [IC]) for 5-7 doses and 18 received standard daily cladribine (continuous cladribine [CC]) over 5-7 days. We report clinical cohort characteristics, response rates, progression-free survival, overall survival, toxicity, hospitalization rates, and measurable residual disease monitoring in select patients using peripheral blood quantitative Results: We report here our experience with 18 patients with newly diagnosed Conclusions: In this retrospective analysis, IC dosed weekly was associated with improved progression-free survival and higher rates of complete remission compared to CC with comparable toxicity and fewer hospitalizations. These findings suggest a potential clinical benefit from this regimen. However, interpretation of these findings is limited by the non-randomized design and differences in rituximab exposure between groups, which may have contributed to the observed outcomes and limited definitive conclusions. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
