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

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) as a solid extra-medullary (EM) manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic syndromes is a rare presentation of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The databases of the Departments of Hematology and Oncology of the University Hospitals of Jena and Rostock were screened for patients aged 18 years or older for onset of MS after HSCT for myeloid malignancies between 2002 and 2019. Nineteen patients with MS were identified, the majority of whom had received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC). The median onset of MS was 425 days after HSCT and the median overall survival since MS was 234 days. Although MS is associated with a poor prognosis, three patients survived more than two years and one more than 11 years after MS onset. These results indicate that RIC protocols may be associated with a higher risk of EM relapse. Since EM relapse occurred in the presence of Graft-versus-host-disease, these observations also demonstrate the limitations of graft-versus-tumor effects after HSCT. In conclusion, occurrence of MS after HSCT is associated with a poor prognosis, as multimodal curative concepts including intensive chemotherapy and another HSCT are often not viable.
