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: Persistence of measurable residual disease (MRD) and high-risk cytogenetics are established predictors of relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Methods: Outcomes of children with ALL treated with the ICiCLe-ALL-2014 protocol at a single centre, between August 2013 and May 2023 were analysed. Co-culture Findings: Among 715 patients, at a median 55 (50-58) months, the 3-year EFS for standard-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk B, T-ALL and VHR were 71% (64%-78%), 67% (58%-75%), 77% (70%-82%), 81% (71%-88%), and 38% (24%-52%) respectively (p < 0.0001). Persistent MRD at end of consolidation was associated with inferior EFS (40.3%, p ≤ 0.0001). Drug sensitivity scores from DRP performed on 112 samples identified panobinostat (median DSS 23.4), venetoclax (20.7), daunorubicin (17.9), selinexor (12.7) and bortezomib (12.1) as effective in VHR or relapsed ALL. From November 2020, 25 VHR patients received a modified treatment block incorporating venetoclax and bortezomib. At 1.5-year, landmark EFS was 81.8% (58%-93%) with the modified regimen vs 67.7% (49-81) with standard therapy (p = 0.0324). Venetoclax sensitivity correlated with MRD clearance (p = 0.0070). Interpretation: DRP enabled identification of effective agents for integration into therapy of VHR paediatric ALL. The addition of venetoclax and bortezomib was well tolerated and associated with improved early survival outcomes. These findings support prospective evaluation of DRP-guided treatment regimens in VHR ALL. Funding: DBT-Wellcome India Alliance, Tata Consultancy Services.
