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 transplantation (allo-HCT) is a standard treatment for patients with AML and MDS. The combination of fractionated total body irradiation(8GyTBI/Flu) with fludarabine is an established conditioning regimen, but fludarabine/treosulfan(Flu/Treo) constitutes an alternative in older/comorbid patients. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 215 AML(in CR) and 96 MDS patients undergoing their first allo-HCT between 2011 and 2022, identifying 53 matched Flu/Treo and 8GyTBI/Flu patients through propensity score matching. Median follow-up of survivors was 3.3 years and 4.1 years. For the Flu/Treo group, 1-year non-relapse mortality (2% vs. 10%, p = 0.03) was lower, while 1-year relapse incidence (16% vs. 13%, p = 0.81) was similar. Three-year outcomes, including relapse-free survival and graft-versus-host disease incidence, were comparable (OS: 81% vs. 74%, p = 0.70; RFS: 78% vs. 66%, p = 0.28; chronic GvHD: 34% vs. 36%, p = 0.97; acute GvHD (100 days): 11% vs. 23%, p = 0.11). Multivariable analysis, considering age, ECOG, HCT-CI, and MRD status, revealed no associations with main outcomes. Dose-reduced conditioning with Flu/Treo or 8GyTBI/Flu demonstrated favorable and comparable survival rates exceeding 70% at 3 years with 1-year NRM rates below 10% and low relapse rates in the matched cohort. These data underline the need for further evaluation of TBI and Treo-based conditionings in prospective trials.
