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

backgroundThe association between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and nonmyeloid subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs) after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has not been explored.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 1931 consecutive patients who underwent HCT between 2010 and 2016 at a single center. DNA from pre-HCT mobilized blood products was sequenced to identify CH variants (variant allele frequency [VAF] ≥2%). The primary outcome was 8-year(y) cumulative incidence of nonmyeloid SMNs. Multivariable regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between CH and nonmyeloid SMNs, as well as cause-specific mortality.

resultsMedian age at HCT was 58.8 y (range = 18.4-78.1 y); 389 patients (20.1% of the cohort) had at least 1 CH variant and 94 (4.9%) had ≥2 variants. The 8 y cumulative incidence of nonmyeloid SMNs was significantly higher in patients with CH compared with those without (15.1% vs 7.2%, P < .001), and increased by VAF: 7.2% (VAF <2%), 14.0% (VAF 2% to <10%), 19.4% (VAF ≥10%); P = .001. Patients with CH had a 2-fold increased risk of nonmyeloid SMNs (standardized incidence ratio = 1.9), compared with the general population. In multivariable analysis, CH was an independent and significant risk factor for nonmyeloid SMNs (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15 to 2.59). Finally, patients with CH had significantly worse survival, primarily due to the higher risk of nonrelapse mortality (HR = 2.97, 95% CI = 1.90 to 4.64).

conclusionsCH was significantly associated with the risk of nonmyeloid SMNs after HCT, and the magnitude of association increased by VAF. Clonal hematopoiesis may serve as a biomarker for identifying HCT survivors at higher risk for developing nonmyeloid SMNs.
