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

abstractMeasurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITDpos) has been hampered by the broad heterogeneity of ITD mutations. Using our recently developed FLT3-ITD paired-end next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based MRD assay (limit of detection 10-4 to 10-5), we evaluated the prognostic impact of MRD at different time points in 157 patients with FLT3-ITDpos AML who were enrolled in the German-Austrian Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study Group 16-10 trial and who were treated with a combination of intensive chemotherapy and midostaurin, followed by midostaurin maintenance. MRD negativity (MRDneg) after 2 cycles of chemotherapy (Cy2), which was observed in 111 of 142 (78%) patients, was predictive of superior 4-year rates of cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) (4y-CIR; 26% vs 46%; P = .001) and overall survival (OS) (4y-OS; 70% vs 44%; P = .012). This survival advantage was also seen among patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation during first complete remission (4y-CIR, 14% vs 39%; P = .001; 4y-OS, 71% vs 49%; P = .029). Multivariate models for CIR and OS after Cy2 revealed FLT3-ITD MRDneg as the only consistent favorable variable for CIR (hazard ratio [HR], 0.29; P = .006) and OS (HR, 0.39; P = .018). During follow-up, conversion from MRDneg to MRD positivity (MRDpos) was a strong, independent factor for inferior CIR (HR, 16.64; P < .001) and OS (HR, 4.05; P < .001). NGS-based FLT3-ITD MRD monitoring identifies patients at high risk for relapse and death following treatment with intensive chemotherapy and midostaurin. Using NGS-based technology.
