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) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are usually associated with poor outcomes, especially in high-risk AML/MDS. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curative option for patients suffering from high-risk AML/MDS. However, many patients relapse after allo-HSCT. Novel therapy to prevent relapse is urgently needed. Both the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN) and the hypomethylating agent decitabine (DEC) possess significant antitumor activity effects against AML/MDS. Administration of DEC has been shown to ameliorate graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and boost the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect post-transplantation. We therefore conducted a prospective study (ChiCTR1900025374) to examine the tolerability and efficacy of a maintenance therapy of low-dose decitabine (LDEC) plus VEN to prevent relapse after allo-HSCT for high-risk AML/MDS patients. Twenty patients with high-risk AML (n = 17) or high-risk MDS (n = 3) post-transplantation were recruited. Approximately day 100 post-transplantation, all patients received LDEC (15 mg/m
