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 transplant (allo-HSCT) has been noted to be a potential curative treatment in cases of advanced-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sezary syndrome (SS). To assess outcomes of allo-HSCT for MF/SS we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis including 15 manuscripts and 557 patients, published from 2010-2023. Meta-analysis revealed 1-year and 3+year overall survival (OS) of 51% (95% CI 39-64%) and 40% (32-49%). Progression-free survival at 1 year and 3+years were 42% (31-53%) and 33% (25-42%). Non-relapse mortality was 18% (13-23%). Relapse occurred in of 47% (40-53%) with a median time to relapse of 7.9 months (range 1.6-24 months). Rates of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were 45% (35-55%) and 40% (33-48%). Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) was associated with superior OS compared to myeloablative conditioning (MAC) (58% vs. 30%, p < 0.001). Of patients with relapse after allo-HSCT, 46% treated with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) achieved complete remission. These data support use of allo-HSCT for treatment of advanced-stage MF/SS and suggest superiority of RIC over MAC. Rates of GVHD were comparable to allo-HSCT in general. The improved OS for RIC and high rate of CR with DLI underscore the importance of the graft-versus-lymphoma effect in allo-HSCT for MF/SS.
