Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Infant Leukemia: A Single-Center Case Series and Narrative Review.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesAcute leukemias (AL) in children under 1-year-old are combined under the term "infant leukemia" and are a very rare malignancies, accounting for up to 5% of all childhood AL cases. The predominance of unfavorable clinical and laboratory characteristics leads to unsatisfactory treatment results, even with the use of modern treatment protocols. PATIENTS/
methodsA comprehensive search through MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect using infant leukemia-related keywords was performed and included a final set of 52 academic articles. Our own experience included 11 patients with infant leukemia underwent allo-HSCT (allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) at the NN Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology in 2021-2023. Types of leukemia included acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoblastic leukemia, and mixed-phenotype acute leukemia. The most frequent cytogenetic aberration was
resultsMedian follow-up was 23.5 months. Acute GVHD grade I-II developed in two patients (18%) and grade III-IV in three patients (27%). The overall survival rate was 54.5% (n = 6). The relapse rate after allo-HSCT was 18% (n = 2). The most common cause of treatment failure was infectious complications in the early post-transplant period (70%).
conclusionsOur center's experience demonstrated acceptable transplant-related mortality and satisfactory relapse rates after allo-HSCT in patients with infant leukemia. The treatment of acute leukemia in infants is challenging, and optimal protocols are being developed around the world specifically for these patients. Taking into account the characteristics of this age group, the choice of chemotherapy drug doses should be carefully considered, and the indications for allo-HSCT should be balanced.
