Pediatric chemotherapy versus allo-HSCT for adolescent and adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL in first complete remission: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of hematology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pediatric-inspired chemotherapy significantly improves survival for adolescent and adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the benefits over allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remain unclear. To compare clinical outcomes between pediatric-inspired chemotherapy and allo-HSCT in consolidation therapy of adolescent and adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-neg) ALL in first complete remission (CR1), related studies from MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials updated to July 2022 were searched. A total of 13 relevant trials including 3161 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with allo-HSCT, pediatric-inspired chemotherapy achieved better OS (hazard risk (HR), 0.53; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.41 to 0.68) and DFS (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.86), with a significant reduction in NRM (risk ratio (RR), 0.30; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.51), but no difference in the relapse rate (RR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.39). When only studies based on intention-to-treat analysis were included, pediatric-inspired chemotherapy consistently conferred a survival advantage. In subgroup analyses, patients with baseline high-risk features demonstrated similar OS and DFS between pediatric-style chemotherapy and allo-HSCT, while pediatric-style chemotherapy had an OS and DFS advantage in standard-risk subgroup. Particularly, patients with positive minimal residual disease (MRD) achieved better OS and DFS if proceeded to allo-HSCT.
