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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a very heterogeneous disease. Prognosis is related not only to intrinsic characteristics such as cytogenetics and molecular markers, but also the patient's ability to tolerate therapy, and treatment response. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) has been traditionally indicated for poor-risk disease in first complete remission (CR1) or for treatment of relapsed or refractory AML. 'Poor-risk' disease is now better defined due to genetic subtyping, particularly in chromosomally normal AML. In addition, the presence of comorbid conditions should be included in the decision-making process. Improvements in supportive care and the use of modern conditioning regimens have been associated with improved outcomes, mostly due to a reduction in treatment-related mortality. Therefore, a significant proportion of patients with AML-CR1 can potentially benefit from allo-HCT. We give general guidelines on how to incorporate cytogenetic and molecular risk factors, donor selection, and patient characteristics in order to determine when allo-HCT should be indicated in CR1.
