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

key pointsAlmyloid light chain amyloid patients post autologous stem cell transplantation with higher eGFR was not associated with better progression-free survival but was associated with increased overall survival (OS). Patients with kidney amyloidosis stage 3 at baseline had inferior OS compared with those who had stage 1. OS was better in those who had complete kidney response irrespective of the baseline kidney amyloidosis stage, compared with those without response.

backgroundWe investigated how kidney function affected progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis.

methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of 314 patients with AL amyloidosis who underwent ASCT between 2010 and 2020. In addition to the baseline demographics, comorbidities, and kidney amyloidosis stage, eGFR and other laboratory values were collected at day 0, day 100, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after ASCT. The Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratio (HR) based on landmark analysis for the effects of eGFR and other longitudinal measures on PFS or OS.

resultsHigher eGFR values at all time points after ASCT were not significantly associated with longer PFS but was associated with increased OS. Patients with kidney amyloidosis stage 3 at baseline had inferior OS compared with those who had stage 1 (HR [95% confidence interval] = 9.428 [1.134 to 78.381], P value = 0.0379). OS was better in those who had complete kidney response irrespective of the baseline kidney amyloidosis stage, compared with those without response (HR [95% confidence interval] = 7.581 [2.042 to 28.149], P = 0.0025).

conclusionsThis retrospective study shows that kidney function has an effect on survival in patients with AL amyloidosis who undergo ASCT. Both higher eGFR at baseline and complete kidney response after ASCT favor improved survival outcomes.
