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

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers the best chance for relapse-free survival to most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may be performed during complete remission or delayed until after the first relapse because of relevant treatment-related morbidity and mortality. The measurable residual disease (MRD) status at HSCT adds refined prognostic information to the assigned European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2017 genetic risk at diagnosis. We analyzed 580 patients with AML who underwent allogeneic HSCT during either the first (79%) or second (21%) remission. Although, because of common treatment strategies, some adverse risk characteristics, such as monosomal or complex karyotypes, were less frequent in patients who underwent transplant in the second remission, those patients had worse outcomes compared with patients who had transplant in the first remission. The MRD status at HSCT was an independent prognostic factor, irrespective of the number of remissions at HSCT. Notably, patients who were MRD+ who underwent HSCT in the first remission and those who were MRD- and underwent transplant in the second remission had similar outcomes. In the clinically highly relevant group of individuals who had ELN2017 intermediate risk, the MRD status provided the highest prognostic value with very dismal outcomes for patients who were MRD+ and underwent second-remission transplants. The adverse outcomes of patients who are MRD+ and of those who undergo transplant in the second remission should be considered when planning consolidation treatment, to avert an allogeneic HSCT in MRD+ second remission when possible.
