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

We studied the outcome of allo-SCT after reduced-intensity conditioning in relapsed or refractory indolent and aggressive lymphoid malignancies. All 54 patients (diagnosis: B-CLL n=13, indolent lymphoma n=12, aggressive lymphoma n=13, transformed lymphoma n=16) received conditioning with fludarabine and CY between July 2001 and November 2010. They underwent allo-SCT because of relapse after auto-SCT or because no other therapy could lead to a meaningful remission. Patients received an unmanipulated peripheral blood stem-cell graft. Median follow-up was 67 months. Thirty-two patients had received rituximab. Immediately after transplantation, remission status had improved in 21 patients, all without DLI. During the follow-up six additional patients achieved CR without further therapy. Four-year OS (EFS) was 46% (46%) for B-CLL, 83% (75%) for indolent lymphoma, 69% (55%) for aggressive lymphoma and 74% (67%) for transformed lymphoma (P=0.28 (P=0.54)). Forty two percent developed acute GVHD, 68% chronic GVHD (16% limited, 52% extensive). Previous auto-SCT did not influence OS, while acute GVHD did. Two-year non-relapse mortality was 16%. In conclusion, reduced-intensity conditioning with fludarabine-CY is feasible and effective for both indolent and aggressive lymphoid malignancies, even after previous auto-SCT. Because of the excellent anti-B-cell/lymphoma activity fludarabine-CY decreases tumor load, gaining time for the development of a graft versus lymphoma effect.
