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

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of measurable residual disease recurrence (MRD-R) by multiparameter flow cytometry in acute myeloid leukemia. We retrospectively analyzed clinical characteristics, residual disease status and outcomes of 767 patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who achieved complete remission within two cycles of induction at our center. Overall, 171 (22.3%) patients experienced MRD-R during follow-up. Patients with MRD-R had inferior outcomes compared to those without MRD-R, with 3-year cumulative incidence of morphological relapse (CIR), relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) being 63.6% vs. 30.6% (P<0.001), 13.9% vs. 67.2% (P<0.001) and 39.0% vs. 79.2% (P<0.001), respectively. The outcomes for patients in the groups with minute MRD-R (<0.1%) or overt MRD-R (≥0.1%) were comparable, with 3-year CIR, RFS and OS of 65.2% vs. 68.2% (P=0.76), 28.9% vs. 27.5% (P=0.85), and 44.8% vs. 38.9% (P=0.39), respectively. Early intervention at the time of MRD-R postponed morphological relapse, extending the median interval from MRD-R to morphological relapse to 4.2 months vs. 1.7 months without intervention (P=0.033). Considering these findings together, MRD-R indicated a higher incidence of relapse and poorer outcomes and could serve as an early warning event for relapse in clinical practice. Early intervention could delay relapse, thereby creating a time window for transplantation.
