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

The combination of hypomethylating agents (HMA) and venetoclax (VEN) has transformed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment. Data on donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) with HMA/VEN for relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) remain limited.We retrospectively analyzed 78 adults with relapsed myeloid neoplasms after first alloHCT between 2018 and 2025. DLI was given with HMA, HMA/VEN, or other/no treatments. The primary endpoint was event-free survival (EFS), defined as time to death or second alloHCT.Median time to relapse after alloHCT was 12.9 months (range 2.2-192.4). Initial DLI doses ranged from 0.3 to 8.14 × 10⁶ CD3⁺ cells/kg. Median EFS after first DLI was 15.2 months: with 16.2 (DLI/HMA), 14.3 (DLI/HMA/VEN), and 21.1 (DLI/other), respectively. Death occurred in 25.6% and second alloHCT in 32.1% of patients. GvHD of any kind after DLI treatment manifested in 30.8%, both events comparable across groups. Complete remission (CR) after DLI was achieved in 42.3% after a median of 4.2 months, including patients with TP53 mutations (n = 9).Approximately 40% of patients with relapsed myeloid malignancies were successfully salvaged with DLI and combination treatments. Patients with high-risk features such as morphological relapse were overrepresented in the DLI/HMA/VEN cohort but achieved comparable outcomes to the other treatment groups. This finding suggests successful treatment of even morphological relapse by addition of VEN to DLI/HMA regimens while supporting the need for controlled trials.
