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

Up to 50% of patients with high-risk myeloid malignancies die of relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Current sequential conditioning regimens like the FLAMSA protocol combine intensive induction therapy with TBI or alkylators. Venetoclax has synergistic effects to chemotherapy. In a retrospective survey among German transplant centers, we identified 61 patients with myeloid malignancies that had received FLAMSA-based sequential conditioning with venetoclax between 2018 and 2022 as an individualized treatment approach. Sixty patients (98%) had active disease at transplant and 74% had genetic high-risk features. Patients received allografts from matched unrelated, matched related, or mismatched donors. Tumor lysis syndrome occurred in two patients but no significant non-hematologic toxicity related to venetoclax was observed. On day +30, 55 patients (90%) were in complete remission. Acute GvHD II°-IV° occurred in 17 (28%) and moderate/severe chronic GvHD in 7 patients (12%). Event-free survival and overall survival were 64% and 80% at 1 year as well as 57% and 75% at 2 years, respectively. The off-label combination of sequential FLAMSA-RIC with venetoclax appears to be safe and highly effective. To further validate these insights and enhance the idea of smart conditioning, a controlled prospective clinical trial was initiated in July 2023.
