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

Relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) entails a poor prognosis. Treating these cases is challenging due to lack of effective therapies and, in some cases, poor performance status and/or presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), among others. No randomized controlled trial (RCT) has ever been conducted comparing a second allo-HCT against other treatments. Existing data are mainly from observational studies or registries. Success of a second allo-HCT is dependent on appropriately selecting patients who might achieve best outcomes with reasonable non-relapse mortality (NRM) risk. Several factors are associated with worse outcomes, namely a shorter time from first allo-HCT to relapse or to the second allo-HCT, and AML not being in complete hematologic remission (CR). Patients relapsing earlier than 6 months or having active/persistent disease should be enrolled in clinical trials. Limitations of the published literature include retrospective small size studies, a heterogeneous population, and absence of information on somatic mutations, among others. Future studies assessing the role of a second allo-HCT should evaluate the impact of IDH1, IDH2, or others on outcomes; and the feasibility and efficacy of targeted therapies in the pre-, peri-, or post-second allo-HCT setting.
