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

Measurable residual disease (MRD) is an adverse prognostic factor in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can detect MRD with a sensitivity of 10-6, but the prognostic value of NGS-based MRD in adult patients with ALL undergoing HCT remains minimally studied. To evaluate the prognostic value of NGS-based MRD in adult patients with ALL undergoing HCT, patients aged ≥18 years with ALL who underwent allogeneic HCT at Stanford University or Oregon Health & Science University between January 2014 and April 2021 and were evaluated for MRD using the NGS-based clonoSEQ assay were included in this study. MRD was assessed before HCT (MRDpre) and up to 1 year after HCT (MRDpost). Patients were followed up for leukemia relapse and survival for up to 2 years after HCT. In total, 158 patients had a trackable clonotype for MRD monitoring. The cumulative incidence of relapse was increased at all levels of MRDpre, including in patients who had low MRDpre of <10-4 (hazard ratio [HR], 3.56; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.39-9.15). In multivariable analysis, MRDpre level remained significantly prognostic; however, detectable MRDpost was the strongest predictor of relapse (HR, 4.60; 95% CI, 3.01-7.02). In exploratory analyses limited to patients with B-cell ALL, the detection of post-HCT immunoglobulin H (IgH) MRD clonotypes, rather than non-IgH MRD clonotypes, was associated with relapse. In this analysis across 2 large transplant centers, we found that the detection of MRD by NGS at a level of 10-6 offers significant prognostic value in adults with ALL undergoing HCT.
