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

High-dose chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is generally the optimal option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, for favorable- and intermediate-risk patients, the regimen remains less understood due to graft versus host disease (GVHD) and increased non-relapsed mortality (NRM) caused by allo-HSCT. Additionally, the benefit of maintenance therapy has not yet been conclusively proven. Here, we conducted a retrospective study on the long-term outcome of AML patients with favorable or intermediate risk who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) followed by interleukin-2 (IL-2) subcutaneous injection as maintenance therapy. A total of 49 patients from 2007 to 2019 were included in our study. They all received a daunorubicin + cytarabine regimen as induction chemotherapy followed by four to six cycles of consolidation therapy with medium- or high-dose cytarabine. Once patients achieved complete remission (CR1), they started receiving auto-HSCT followed by IL-2 injections. The results showed that no patients stopped receiving IL-2 injections on account of adverse side effects, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) rates were 85.6 ± 5.0% and 78.5 ± 6.1%, respectively. The multivariate analysis also suggested that age, gender, initial white blood cell (WBC) count, AML subtype, cytogenetic risk, and conditioning regimen did not affect the prognosis. In conclusion, auto-HSCT followed by IL-2 injection is an effective treatment that can improve the prognosis of AML for patients with favorable or intermediate risk.
