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) harboring Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation is associated with shorter remission and higher relapse risk. Several FLT3 inhibitors have been used in clinical trials, but their efficacy in extramedullary disease remains unclear. In the present case, a 56-year-old man was diagnosed with FLT3-ITD mutated AML. Due to bone marrow relapse during consolidation therapy, he underwent salvage therapy and a myeloablative conditioning regimen, followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from a HLA-matched related donor. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) did not develop, and complete donor chimerism was confirmed on days 27 and 96 after PBSCT. On day 180, he experienced extensive chronic GVHD and had several subcutaneous tumors in his body, which were diagnosed as myeloid sarcoma by pathological examination. We considered this to be a case of isolated extramedullary relapse, as his bone marrow had maintained complete donor chimerism. Treatment with etoposide and ranimustine produced no effect, and tumor progression continued. We started administration of gilteritinib, a FLT3/AXL inhibitor, after identifying the FLT3-ITD mutation in the tumor. Subsequently, there has been a remarkable regression of the tumors. Gilteritinib can be effective in isolated extramedullary relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
