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

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) relapse is the main cause of death after allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT). In AML FLT3+, it was shown that Sorafenib used as maintenance therapy after allo-SCT, significantly reduces the risk of relapse and death. Methods: We analyzed 29 adult patients with FLT3m AML and underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant from 2019 to 2023. All patients received midostaurin plus conventional CT during induction and consolidation. After transplantation, Sorafenib maintenance was administered in all patients independently from MRD status at transplantation. Results: Sorafenib maintenance was applied in 18 patients out 29 patients (62%). Median time to start sorafenib was 100 days (range 37-225) and median duration of treatment was 775 days (range 140-1064). For the whole population (n=29), 2-year OS, LFS, and CIR was 76%, 68% and 28%, respectively. The median time to relapse was 137 days (range 49-246). For patients treated with sorafenib (n=18), the 2-year OS, LFS, and CIR were 94%, 84% and 11%, respectively. For the whole population, the 100-day NRM was 0% and 1-year NRM was 3%. Death was caused by transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy in 1 patient. For patients who were administered with Sorafenib, the 1-y NRM was 5%. Death was caused by transplant associated transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy. Discussion: This retrospective study suggests that sorafenib maintenance seem to be effective even in patients pre-treated with midostaurin.
