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

Patients with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) respond to conventional induction chemotherapy, with remission rates similar to those seen in other subtypes; however, they are much more likely to relapse and relapse is rapid. For this reason, eligible patients receive consolidation therapy with early allogenic transplantation, but the recurrence rate remains high, even after transplantation. Moreover, the optimal therapy for patients with FLT3-ITD AML who relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains unclear. Here, we report a case in which graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects were induced by gilteritinib administration after a second transplant from the same donor, resulting in sustained remission of early FLT3-ITD AML relapse after allogeneic transplantation. Several studies suggest that the benefits of FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (FLT3-TKI) after allogeneic transplantation are attributable to GVL induction, as well as direct effects on FLT3 mutation-positive leukemia cells. With this in mind, we induced lymphodepletion using L-PAM to further enhance GVL induction by donor lymphocytes and FLT3-TKI. We believe that enhancement of GVL induction by lymphodepletion should be considered before FLT3-TKI use, if the prognosis is very poor, such as in patients with recurrence following allogeneic transplantation.
