From CyBorD to dara-CyBorD, ASCT utilization trends in AL amyloidosis: a 15-year analysis.
Article in Blood advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
abstractThis retrospective analysis examined 15 years of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for light chain (AL) amyloidosis at the Mayo Clinic (2010-2024). We aimed to assess ASCT utilization trends, factors influencing practice changes, and current indications amid newer therapies. Four hundred and forty-one ASCTs were divided into cohort 1 (2010-2019) and cohort 2 (2020-2024), revealing a significant ASCT reduction in cohort 2 (385 vs 56, average 71% annual decrease). Cohort 2 patients were older, more likely to have relapsed/refractory disease, and had higher baseline bone marrow plasma cell burden compared to cohort 1. Pre-ASCT induction was more frequent in cohort 2 (89.3% vs 56.4%), with daratumumab (Dara)-cyclophosphamide-bortezomib-dexamethasone (CyBorD) replacing CyBorD as the predominant induction regimen. Lymphoma-based regimens were also more common in cohort 2 (15.1% vs 5.3%, P = .02). Day-100 satisfactory hematological response improved in cohort 2 (91.1% vs 72.7%, P = .001), although hematological complete response rates did not significantly differ (50.9% vs 38.8%, P = .09). In summary, there is a decrease in the utilization of ASCT in AL amyloidosis. This procedure is primarily reserved for patients with suboptimal responses, relapsed/refractory disease, lymphoplasmacytic clones (predominantly immunoglobulin M amyloidosis), or high bone marrow plasma cell burden (myeloma phenotype). This study underscores a significant shift in ASCT practice, driven by novel therapies, emphasizing more personalized management in AL amyloidosis.
