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

BACKGROUND AND

methodsThis real-world study evaluated the clinical effectiveness of gilteritinib in 205 patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) enrolled in the Italian expanded access since January 2018.

resultsOf the 205 patients, 124 (60.5%) received gilteritinib as a bridging therapy to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), achieving complete remission in 52.4% (n = 65). The median overall survival (OS) for the entire cohort was 11.0 months, with estimated OS rates of 46.8% at 1 year and 28.5% at 3 years. Sixty patients (48% of those bridged) underwent allo-SCT after a median of 3.7 months on gilteritinib, achieving posttransplant OS rates of 65.2% at 1 year and 56.1% at 3 years. The acquisition of FLT3 mutations at relapse and the presence of TP53 co-mutations were significantly associated with inferior outcomes. Among 46 patients (22.4%) who relapsed after allo-SCT, gilteritinib treatment yielded an overall response rate (ORR) of 54.3%, a median OS of 11.1 months, and 1- and 3-year OS rates of 49.5% and 15.5%, respectively. Additionally, 35 patients (17.1%) previously treated with nonintensive chemotherapy received gilteritinib until disease progression or intolerance, achieving an ORR of 11.4%, a median OS of 5.9 months, and a 1-year OS rate of 29.0%.

conclusionsThese real-world data confirm that clinical outcomes achieved with gilteritinib in patients with R/R FLT3-mutated AML are consistent with those observed in pivotal clinical trials. Notably, approximately half of the transplant-eligible patients were successfully bridged to allo-SCT and demonstrated encouraging long-term survival.
