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

backgroundHaploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) has emerged as an effective approach for acute leukemia, primarily due to the inherent difficulty in finding human leukocyte antigen-matched unrelated donors (MUD). Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether haplo-HSCT and MUD-HSCT can provide comparable outcomes in patients with acute leukemia.

aimsThis study aimed to assess the overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) outcomes between the MUD-HSCT and haplo-HSCT groups. METHODS AND

resultsThis retrospective analysis encompassed adult patients with acute leukemia undergoing the initial allo-HSCT. Among these 85 patients, we stratified 33 patients into the MUD-HSCT group and 52 to the haplo-HSCT group. The primary outcomes were OS and LFS. The median OS was not reached in the haplo-HSCT group, while it reached 29.8 months in patients undergoing MUD-HSCT (p = .211). Likewise, the median LFS periods were 52.6 months in the haplo-HSCT group and 12.7 months in the MUD-HSCT group (p = .212). Importantly, neither the OS nor LFS showed substantial differences between the MUD-HSCT and haplo-HSCT groups. Furthermore, univariate analyses revealed that haplo-HSCT did not demonstrate a significantly higher risk of worse LFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.38-1.25; p = .216) or OS (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.36-1.26; p = .214) than MUD-HSCT. Notably, a high European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation risk score (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.10-1.87; p = .007) and non-complete remission (HR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.17-5.23; p = .017) were significantly correlated with worse OS.

conclusionHaplo-HSCT may serve as an alternative to MUD-HSCT for the treatment of acute leukemia, offering similar survival outcomes.
