Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia: An Overview of Systematic Reviews.
Synthesis in International journal of clinical practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become the main treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and has been studied in many systematic reviews (SRs), but strong conclusions have not been drawn yet. Objective: This study aimed to summarize and critically evaluate the methodological and evidence quality of SRs and meta-analysis on this topic. Methods: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for SRs/meta-analyses regarding HSCT for AML. Two reviewers assessed the quality of SRs/meta-analyses in line with AMSTAR-2 and evaluated the strength of evidence quality with the grading of the evaluation system (GRADE) for concerned outcomes independently. Results: 12 SR/Meta articles were included, and the AMSTAR-2 scale showed that the quality grade of all articles was low or very low. GRADE results showed 29 outcomes, 2 of which were high, 12 were moderate, and 15 were low. Limitations and inconsistency were the most important factors leading to degradation, followed by imprecision and publication bias. Allo-SCT had better OS and DFS benefits than auto-SCT and significantly reduced the relapse in intermediate-risk AML/CR1 patients. Auto-SCT was associated with lower TRM than allo-SCT but generally had higher relapse. The results should be confirmed further for the low or moderate evidence quality. Conclusion: Current SRs show that allo-SCT in the treatment of AML might improve the OS, RFS, and DFS. Auto-SCT has significantly lower TRM but higher RR. Whether bone marrow transplantation is superior to nonmyeloablative chemotherapy remains to be evaluated. Meanwhile, the quality of methodology needs to be further improved. The intensity of evidence was uneven, and the high-quality evidence of outcomes was lacking. Considering the limitations of our overview, more rigorous and scientific studies are needed to fully explore the efficacy of different interventions of HSCT in AML, and clinicians should be more cautious in the treatment.
