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

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia represents 20% of acute leukemias in adults. Currently, there is limited data in Chile regarding the clinical, cytogenetic, and prognostic characteristics of this condition. Methods: This is a retrospective, observational, and descriptive study of 67 patients treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the Arturo Lopez Perez Foundation between 2018 and 2021. The main objective is to evaluate epidemiological and clinical characteristics, as well as identifying factors associated with improved overall survival and/or progression-free survival. Results: 88% of the cases were B-lineage, mainly the common B phenotype. Cytogenetic analysis was performed in less than 50% of the patients, with lower yield than expected according to the literature. Molecular testing was performed in 86.5% of the patients, with the most frequent alteration being BCR-ABL. No study was performed to search for Ph-like abnormalities. The rate of complete response after induction was 83.3%, the majority of patients having negative minimal residual disease. Only 12% of the patients received consolidation with allogenic bone marrow transplant. At 2 years, the overall survival was 69% and the progression-free survival was 59%. Conclusion: The results in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival are similar to those reported in the literature. Important diagnostic gaps prevent adequate prognostic characterization. Allogeneic consolidation transplantation was performed in a lower percentage than expected, highlighting the national deficit in access to this treatment.
