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

Germline mutations in GATA2 are associated with an inherited predisposition to bone marrow failure (BMF), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative therapy. However, patients may be at an increased risk for transplant-related toxicity (TRT) and transplant-related mortality (TRM) due to their underlying disease biology. We performed a retrospective case-control study of pediatric patients with BMF/MDS/AML with germline GATA2 mutations, comparing HSCT outcomes to randomly selected patients without germline GATA2 mutations and BMF/MDS (control A) and acute leukemia (control B). The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates in the GATA2 cohort (65%, 51%) were similar to control A (58%, 49%) and B (45%, 43%) cohorts. In contrast, the 5-year event-free survival rate was significantly lower in the GATA2 cohort (7% ± 6%, 28% ± 10%, and 33% ± 8% for GATA2, A, and B, respectively), due to an increased number of unique TRTs. Specifically, neurologic toxicities occurred significantly more frequently in GATA2 patients than in the control groups, and post-HSCT thrombotic events occurred only in the GATA2 cohort. There was no difference in TRM, infections, or graft-versus-host disease across groups. The higher incidence of thrombotic and neurologic events specific to GATA2 patients warrants further investigation and has potential treatment ramifications.
