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

FLAMSA followed by sequential reduced intensity conditioning and treosulfan/fludarabine are frequently used conditioning approaches used in centers of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is currently unknown whether any of these regimens is superior to the others in terms of disease control and toxicity. Using the Acute Leukemia Working Party/EBMT multicenter registry we compared the outcomes of AML patients 45-65 of age transplanted between the years 2007 and 2016. A total of 629 patients were included in the analysis: 281 in the Treo/Flu group, 203 in the FLAMSA/TBI group, and 145 in the FLAMSA/Busulfan group. In multivariate analysis, FLAMSA/TBI conditioned patients had a decreased risk of relapse (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.43; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.25-0.75; p = 0.002) and superior leukemia-free survival (HR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.45-0.98; p = 0.042) compared to Treo/Flu conditioned patients. Rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were significantly higher in the FLAMSA/TBI group compared to the Treo/Flu group (HR = 2.004; 95% CI, 1.09-3.67; p = 0.024). Overall survival, non-relapse mortality, and chronic GVHD were not significantly impacted by the specific regimen used. The choice of either FLAMSA/TBI, FLAMSA/Bu, or Treo/Flu results in no major impact on survival of older AML patients.
