Etoposide plus cytarabine versus cyclophosphamide or melphalan in busulfan-based preparative regimens for autologous stem cell transplantation in adults with acute myeloid leukemia in first complete remission: a study from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT.

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
We retrospectively compared the impact of the conditioning regimen in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) that received high-dose myeloablative chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) from 2010 to 2021 with either high-dose cytarabine, etoposide and busulfan (BEA), busulfan with cyclophosphamide (BUCY) or busulfan and high-dose melphalan (BUMEL) registered in the EBMT database. Overall 1560 patients underwent ASCT, of which 156, 1143 and 261 received BEA, BUCY and BUMEL, respectively. Compared to BUCY and BUMEL, BEA patients were younger (p < 0.001) and less frequently had NPM1 mutations (p = 0.03). Transplant outcomes at 5 years with BEA, BUCY and BUMEL were: cumulative incidence of relapse 41.8%, 46.6% and 51.6%; non-relapse mortality (NRM) 1.5%, 5.2% and 7.3%; probability of leukemia-free survival (LFS) 56.7%, 48.2% and 41.1%; and overall survival (OS) 71.3%, 62.3% and 56%, respectively. In multivariable analysis the BEA regimen showed significant improvement in OS compared to BUCY (hazard ratio [HR] 0.65; 95% CI, 0.42-0.83; p = 0.048) and BUMEL (HR 0.59; 95% CI, 0.37-0.94; p = 0.029). In conclusion, high-dose myeloablative combination chemotherapy with BEA offered improved outcomes compared to classical BUCY or BUMEL in patients with AML in CR1 undergoing ASCT.
