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.

Abstract

backgroundPrevious reports suggest a benefit associated with haploidentical donor transplantation (HIDT) compared to matched sibling donor transplantation (MSDT) in certain contexts, and the choice of optimal candidates warrants further investigation.

methodsWe designed a prospective genetically randomized study to evaluate donor options between acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients positive for measurable residual disease (MRD) pre-transplantation who underwent HIDT (n = 169) or MSDT (n = 39).

resultsThe cumulative incidence of positive MRD post-transplantation was 26% (95% CI, 19-33%) and 44% (95% CI, 28-60%) for HIDT and MSDT, respectively (P = 0.043). Compared to the HIDT cohort, the MSDT cohort had a higher 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR; 47%, 95% CI, 31-63% vs. 23%, 95% CI, 17-29%; P = 0.006) and lower 3-year probability of leukemia-free survival (LFS; 43%, 95% CI, 27-59% vs. 65%, 95% CI, 58-72%; P = 0.023) and overall survival (OS; 46%, 95% CI, 30-62% vs. 68%, 95% CI, 61-75%; P = 0.039), without a difference in non-relapse-mortality (10%, 95% CI, 1-19% vs. 11%, 95% CI, 6-16%; P = 0.845). Multivariate analysis showed that HIDT is associated with a low CIR (HR = 0.364; 95% CI, 0.202-0.655; P = 0.001) and better LFS (HR = 0.414; 95% CI, 0.246-0.695; P = 0.001) and OS (HR = 0.380; 95% CI, 0.220-0.656; P = 0.001).

conclusionsHIDT is better than MSDT in view of favorable anti-leukemia activity for patients with pre-transplantation MRD positive ALL. The current study paves the way to determine that haploidentical donors are the preferred choice regardless of available matched sibling donors in a subgroup population.
