Minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity at allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, not the quantity of MRD, is a risk factor for relapse of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

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.
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
Minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is the standard of care in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-positive ALL). We evaluated the impact of MRD status at hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) on relapse, as measured by a unified protocol at a central laboratory. Only patients with Ph-positive ALL who had minor transcripts (e1a2) and who underwent allogeneic HCT in first complete remission between 2008 and 2017 were included. First, patients with negative-MRD (n = 196) and positive-MRD (n = 61) at HCT were analyzed. As expected, MRD positivity at HCT was significantly associated with an increased risk of hematological relapse (hazard ratio [HR], 2.91; 95% CI 1.67-5.08; P < 0.001) in the multivariate analysis. Next, patients with positive-MRD were divided into low-MRD (n = 39) and high-MRD (n = 22) groups. In the multivariate analysis, high-MRD at HCT was not significantly associated with an increased risk of hematological relapse compared to the low-MRD group (HR 1.10; 95% CI 0.54-2.83; P = 0.620). These results indicate that the therapeutic decisions should be made based on MRD positivity, rather than on the MRD level, at HCT.
