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.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to prospectively analyze minimal residual disease(MRD) kinetics after reduced-intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) in high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Subjects were the first 30 consecutive patients from a prospective clinical trial, and seven pilot patients treated identically. Using real-time quantitative-PCR (RQ-PCR) and/or flow-based MRD monitoring (sensitivity >or=10(-4)), five distinct patterns of MRD kinetics could be identified: patients who promptly achieved durable MRD negativity without direct evidence of graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects (Group 1) (n=4; no clinical relapse); patients with complete and sustained MRD response after GVL induced by immunosuppression tapering (Group 2) or donor lymphocyte infusions (Group 3) (n=18; one relapse); patients without MRD response due to lack of GVL (Group 4) (n=2; two relapses); patients with incomplete and transient MRD response to GVL (Group 5) (n=4; three relapses). In summary, this study provides a comprehensive map of possible MRD courses and their prognostic implications after T-replete allo-SCT in high-risk CLL, indicating that effective GVL activity is induced virtually in all patients who develop chronic GVHD. However, in a significant proportion of cases, this does not translate into sustained disease control due to development of secondary GVL resistance.
