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

Certain leukemias have a high relapse risk even after allo-SCT, and GVHD prophylaxis with calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) may interfere with a possible GVL effect. Therefore, we replaced CYA by sirolimus in patients with high relapse risk. In contrast to CNIs, sirolimus promotes the generation of regulatory T-cells and has potent antineoplastic activity. Sirolimus has been used in combination with CNI for GVHD prophylaxis in hematopoietic SCT. However, no CNI-free prophylactic regimen with sirolimus has been evaluated so far. Within the FLAMSA-RIC protocol, 15 patients received GVHD prophylaxis with sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). The underlying diagnoses were relapsed or refractory T-ALL (n=3), AML with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) or mixed-lineage leukemia-partial tandem duplication (MLL-PTD; n=10; 5 with refractory disease) and CML in refractory myeloid blast crisis (n=2). All evaluable patients (n=14) were engrafted. Grades II-IV acute GVHD occurred in 21% and chronic GVHD in 30% of patients. Non-relapse mortality rate was 14%. No thrombotic microangiopathy or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome was observed. Three patients with FLT3-ITD+ AML relapsed after a median of 112 days. At a median follow-up of 10 months after transplantation, 10 patients are alive and in complete remission. In conclusion, sirolimus-based GVHD prophylactic regimens deserve further investigation.
