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

This study evaluated the impact of donor age on clinical outcomes in 274 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) haplo-HCT using PTCY-based prophylaxis. Median patient age was 53 years, with 42.6% classified as high-risk AML. The median donor age of 38 years; 31% were under 30. An optimal donor age cut-off of 30 years was identified through ROC analysis. Patients receiving grafts from younger donors (<30 years) showed lower rates of aGVHD grade II-IV (3.0% vs. 19.9%, p < 0.001) and grade III-IV (1.5% vs. 10.2%, p = 0.034), with no differences in cGVHD or relapse rates. Overall survival (OS) was higher in the younger donor group (2-year: 80.6% vs. 64.3%, p = 0.011), along by lower non-relapse mortality (NRM) (2-year: 11.1% vs. 23.2%, p = 0.031). Multivariate analysis confirmed donor age ≥30 years as an independent adverse factor for OS (HR: 1.88, p = 0.019) and NRM (HR: 2.06, p = 0.049), along with older recipient age, higher HCT-CI score, and high-risk AML. These findings suggest that younger donor age contributes to improved survival, primarily through reduced NRM and aGVHD, supporting prioritization of younger donors when multiple haploidentical options are available to optimize transplant outcomes.
