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) with mixed lineage leukemia-eleven-nineteen lysine-rich leukemia (MLL-ELL) is a rare subtype of MLL-rearranged AML. The outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with this disease remains unknown. In the present study, we retrospectively investigated the efficacy of allo-HSCT in eight adult MLL-ELL-positive AML patients. Although all eight patients achieved first complete remission (CR1), three (37.5 %) patients experienced relapse after induction therapy. Five (62.5 %) patients underwent allo-HSCT during CR1, whereas two (25.0 %) underwent allo-HSCT during disease relapse, and one (12.5 %) during CR2. All three patients who received allo-HSCT beyond CR1 died due to AML progression after allo-HSCT. Of the five patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1, three (60.0 %) remained alive at study conclusion. The overall survival rate at five years was 50.0 %. Intriguingly, clonally expanded non-leukemic cells expressing MLL-ELL during consolidation therapy were found to be eradicated after allo-HSCT during the monitoring of minimal residual disease in one patient; this indicates that allo-HSCT is efficacious for eliminating pre-leukemic cells resistant to chemotherapy. In conclusion, allo-HSCT soon after CR1 represents a promising therapeutic option for adult AML patients with MLL-ELL, although the outcome of allo-HSCT for patients beyond CR1 was dismal.
