Role of cytomegalovirus reactivation on relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

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
Cytomegalovirus reactivation (CMV-R) is a frequent complication post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), associated with poor outcomes. Previous studies have demonstrated the protective effect of CMV-R against relapse after allo-HSCT for acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). However, this impact remains unclear in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We conducted a retrospective study on 81 patients with ALL who received allo-HSCT after myeloablative conditioning regimen from matched sibling donors between 2016 and 2022. All patients underwent weekly monitoring for CMV-R by quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay from engraftment until day +100 post allo-HSCT, and received antiviral prophylaxis with acyclovir from day +1 to 6 months after allo-HSCT. Preemptive treatment was initiated when a viremia was higher than 150 copies/mL. The median age was 20 years (range, 5-50 years). After allo-HSCT, 35% of patients developed CMV-R after a median of 39 days (range, 19-100 days). After a median follow-up of 30 months (range, 1-93 months), CMV-R was an independent factor associated with lower cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) (OR: 0.17; 95% CI [0.03 - 0.98], p = 0.04) without survival benefit. Further studies are needed to validate the protective effect of CMV-R on ALL relapse.
