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

backgroundAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a key treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Measurable residual disease (MRD) predicts post-transplant outcomes. This study evaluates the impact of pretransplant MRD status on outcomes in AML patients undergoing allo-HCT.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed AML patients who underwent allo-HCT from matched related or unrelated donors (2013-2018) using the CIBMTR P-5646 dataset. Patients were stratified by pretransplant MRD status. Outcomes included overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), relapse, nonrelapse mortality (NRM), acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS), and engraftment. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using multivariate Cox regression, adjusted for significant univariate variables (P < .05).

resultsOf 2404 AML patients (354 MRD-positive, 2050 MRD-negative), MRD-positive patients had a lower Karnofsky performance status (≥90%: 46.1% vs. 55.1%, P = .004) and were more likely to undergo myeloablative conditioning (66.6% vs. 52.7%, P < .001). MRD positivity predicted worse OS (HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.62-2.23, P < .001), DFS (HR 2.05, 95% CI 1.77-2.36, P < .001), relapse (HR 2.25, 95% CI 1.91-2.64, P < .001), aGVHD grade II to IV (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.03-1.50, P = .024), GRFS (HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.41-1.81, P < .001), and slower platelet engraftment (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.63-0.81, P < .001). NRM (P = .387) and neutrophil engraftment (P = .159) were similar.

conclusionPretransplant MRD status predicts post-allo-HCT outcomes, with MRD positivity associated with reduced overall and disease-free survival and increased relapse risk. Personalized MRD-directed strategies are needed to optimize outcomes in AML patients undergoing allogeneic transplantation.
