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

abstractThe hallmark of ERCC6L2 disease (ED) is a highly penetrant progression from bone marrow failure to erythroid-predominant, TP53-mutated myeloid malignancy with a dismal prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) remains the only potentially curative option, but concerns exist regarding transplant-related toxicities (TRT) due to the underlying DNA repair defect. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report a systematic analysis of HSCT in ED. We conducted a retrospective multicenter study involving 45 patients with ED who underwent HSCT in 2004-2024. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS), TRT, and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). The 1-year and 3-year OS were 79% (95% confidence interval [CI], 66-91) and 54% (95% CI, 35-73), respectively. Previous history of excess blasts significantly predicted inferior survival (hazard ratio [HR], 6.8; 95% CI, 2.2-20.3; P< .001), with a median survival of 12 months (95% CI, 0-24). Grade 3 to 5 endothelial toxicities occurred in 27% of patients and were associated with higher NRM (HR, 7.7; 95% CI, 1.5-38.8; P = .016). The use of nontreosulfan-based myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimens increased the risk of endothelial complications compared with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC; HR, 4.9; 95% CI, 1.1-22.0; P = .040), whereas outcomes with treosulfan-based MAC were comparable to RIC. In summary, allogeneic HSCT is a viable curative strategy for ED when performed before transformation to an aggressive malignancy, for example myelodysplasia with excess blasts or acute myeloid leukemia. However, the elevated incidence of endothelial toxicity highlights the importance of optimizing conditioning intensity and enhancing peritransplant monitoring in this population.
