Reporting blast percentage for response assessment in acute leukemias: recommendations from an EHA/ELN expert panel.
Article in Haematologica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Evaluation of bone marrow blast percentage is paramount to response criteria in acute leukemias. There is an identified need within the framework of updated laboratory practices to reduce inconsistencies in methodologies used by clinical laboratories to report blast values and clarify aspects of reporting. Representatives from international specialized working groups including the European Hematology Association (EHA) Diagnosis in Hematological Diseases Specialized Working Group and the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) produced consensus guidance for harmonized blast assessment to define response categories in patients with acute leukemia. This guidance addresses sampling best practice, key considerations for generating the most accurate blast enumeration and the limitations across the methodologies in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage. An integrated reporting scheme for deriving blast percentage is provided for ALL and AML. This incorporates results from appropriate measurable residual disease assays with morphological crosscheck. The practical guide and approach presented herein should facilitate uniform reporting standards both within clinical trials and in broader clinical practice.
