Effect of sustained measurable residue disease negativity and post-remission treatment selection on the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in adults.

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
backgroundTo explore the effects of monitoring measurable residual disease and post-remission treatment selection on the clinical outcomes of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in adults.
methodsBetween September 2010 and January 2022, adult patients with B-ALL who received combination chemotherapy, with or without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), were included in the retrospective study, which was approved by the Ethics Committee and the observation of Declaration of Helsinki conditions.
resultsOne hundred and forty-three B-ALL patients achieved complete remission (CR) were included in the study, of whom 94 patients (65.7%) received allo-HSCT in first complete remission (CR1). Multivariate analysis showed that the most powerful factors affecting OS were transplantation (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.540, p = 0.037) and sustained measurable residue disease (MRD) negativity (HR = 0.508, p = 0.037). The subgroup analysis showed that the prognosis of the allo-HSCT group was better than that of the chemotherapy group, regardless of whether MRD was negative or positive after two courses of consolidation therapy. After consolidation therapy, the prognosis of patients with positive MRD remained significantly better in the allo-HSCT group than in the chemotherapy group. However, no significant difference was observed in the prognosis between the allo-HSCT and chemotherapy groups with negative MRD after consolidation therapy.
conclusionsB-ALL patients who achieve sustained MRD negativity during consolidation therapy have excellent long-term outcomes even without allo-HSCT. Allo-HSCT is associated with a significant benefit in terms of OS and DFS for patients who were with positive MRD during consolidation therapy.
