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

objectivesAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) effectively treats high-risk myeloid neoplasms, but relapses post-HSCT, particularly in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), pose significant challenges. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) has been utilized, but its effectiveness, especially in haploidentical settings, remains insufficiently clarified, and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) poses a substantial risk.

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 57 patients with AML or MDS who received DLI after allogeneic HSCT at our center from 2002 to 2023 were analyzed. Herein, only preemptively or therapeutically applied DLI were included, and endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and GvHD incidence post-DLI.

resultsMedian OS after DLI was 517 days, with a 1-year OS of 62.5%. Factors associated with longer OS included patient age, HLA-identical donor, post-HSCT treatment naivety, and preemptive DLI indication. Haploidentical DLI was associated with inferior OS compared to HLA-identical DLI; however, PFS and GvHD incidence post-DLI did not differ significantly.

conclusionsOur study findings indicate that OS rate is inferior in patients with relapsed AML or MDS treated with haploidentical DLI in comparison to those who received HLA-identical DLI. Given the limitations of haploidentical DLI, alternative strategies, such as higher cell doses or combination treatment approaches, warrant further investigation.
