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

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an effective treatment for myelodysplasia (MDS) and secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). In this study, outcome of 593 patients with MDS/sAML after autologous and allogeneic HCT from a matched unrelated donor (MUD) were compared. A total of 167 (28%) patients received HCT from MUD without prior chemotherapy (MUD-U). The rest received HCT in first complete remission (CR1) (Autologous (Auto-CR1), n=290 (49%), HCT from MUD (MUD-CR1), n=136 (23%)). Survival at 3 years was best in MUD-CR1 (50%) compared to Auto-CR1 (41%) and MUD-U (40%) (P=0.01). Similarly, disease-free survival was 44% for MUD-CR1 compared to Auto-CR1 (28%) and MUD-U (34%) (P=0.03). Treatment-related mortality was 17% in Auto-CR1 compared to MUD-CR1 (38%) and MUD-U (49%) (P<0.001). Relapse for Auto-CR1 was 62% compared to 24 and 30% for MUD-CR1 and MUD-U, respectively (P<0.001). Outcome was best for patients with low tumor burden transplanted 6-12 months after diagnosis. Factors influencing outcome at 3 years were mainly significant in the first 6 months. Only, relapse after autologous HCT remained constant over time. Outcomes after allogeneic HCT in patients of 20-40 and >40 years were similar. Autologous and Allogeneic HCT from MUD offer the possibility of long-term survival to patients with MDS/sAML.
