Assessing the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in VEXAS syndrome: results of a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Bone marrow transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
VEXAS syndrome is an X-linked monogenic disease with adult-onset inflammatory disease and myeloid dysplasia, with clinical presentation ensuing in the fifth decade of life or later. Inflammatory symptoms associated with VEXAS syndrome are treated with several lines of therapy, eventually requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). No evidence from randomized controlled trials exists on allo-HCT versus other treatments in patients not responding to front-line therapy(ies). We show results of a systematic review/meta-analysis (SR/MA) following a search using EMBASE, PUBMED/MEDLINE and Web of Science on April 5, 2024. We extracted outcomes based on benefits (overall response rate (ORR), complete remission (CR), event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS), and harms (non-relapse mortality (NRM) and acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)). The search identified 88 studies. Four studies (39 patients) met inclusion criteria. Median follow-up time after allo-HCT ranged from 8 to 18.5 months. Pooled EFS and OS rates were 56% and 86%, respectively. Pertaining to harms, pooled NRM rate was 14%. Pooled rates of acute and chronic GVHD were 42% and 13%, respectively. Allo-HCT is an effective treatment for VEXAS syndrome. We hope these results would increase awareness about this underdiagnosed and underreported disease.
