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

A total of 118 consecutive adult patients with acute leukemia (78 AML, 36 ALL, and four acute mixed lineage leukemia) underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) after conditioning with BuCy (n=113) or a nonmyeloablative regimen of busulfan-fludarabine (n=5). After a median follow-up of 35.8 months (range, 6.4-91.0), 34 patients experienced at least one episode of leukemia relapse. Of 34 initial episodes, 14 (41%) occurred in extramedullary sites, with (n=8) or without (n=6) concomitant bone marrow involvement. The median time to relapse in the extramedullary sites was longer than that of relapse in bone marrow only (13.5 vs 6.1 months, P=0.046). Acute leukemia subtype and disease status at HCT showed an independent predictive value for overall relapse, as well as for extramedullary relapse with or without bone marrow involvement (Philadelphia chromosome positive acute leukemia vs low-risk AML, relative risk 22.68 (95% CI, 2.18-235.64); other than first CR vs first CR, relative risk 5.61 (95% CI, 1.80-17.51)), but not for bone marrow relapse. Our study suggests that there may be different pathogenetic mechanisms for bone marrow vs extramedullary relapse of acute leukemia after allogeneic HCT. The mode of relapse needs to be investigated in future reports of acute leukemia treated with allogeneic HCT.
