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

We retrospectively analyzed data from the EBMT registry on patients with pretransplant comorbidities associated with cardiovascular risk. Patients who underwent first allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia in first complete remission between 2010 and 2022 from unrelated donors using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (ptCy) or anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis with a history of cardiac disease, arrhythmia, diabetes, obesity or cerebrovascular disease according to the HCT-specific comorbidity index were included. We performed a matched-pair analysis using a propensity score. After matching, 432 patients were included: 313 in the ATG group and 119 in the ptCy group. At 2 years, overall survival was 67.5% (95% CI 61-73.2) and 68.6% (95% CI 56.7-77.8); leukemia-free survival was 60.4% (95% CI 53.8-66.4) and 62.6% (95% CI 50.4-72.6); relapse incidence was 22.1% (95% CI 17-27.7) and 23.2% (95% CI 14.3-33.4); non-relapse mortality was 17.5% (95% CI 13.1-22.4) and 14.1% (95% CI 7.5-22.8), respectively. In conclusion, our study suggests that the use of ptCY for GVHD prophylaxis in patients with preexisting comorbidities associated with cardiovascular risk yields long-term outcomes comparable to those observed with ATG-based approaches.
