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.

Abstract

Background: Despite allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), relapse remains a leading cause of treatment failure for patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphomas (TCL). Given the immunomodulatory properties of histone deacetylase inhibitors, this phase II trial (NCT05991973) investigated chidamide maintenance to reduce post-transplant relapse risk for T-ALL/TCL. Methods: In this multicenter, open-label study, patients aged 14-70 years in remission after first allo-HCT received oral chidamide (10 mg twice weekly) for up to 96 weeks. The primary endpoint was 2-year relapse-free survival (RFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), non-relapse mortality (NRM), chronic GVHD, and safety. Outcomes were also compared post hoc with a matched control cohort without maintenance therapy. Findings: Between July 2023 and August 2024, 44 patients were enrolled. At a median follow-up of 24.3 months (IQR 18.2-25.7), the 2-year RFS was 83.7% (95% CI 73.3%-95.6%). Secondary endpoints showed a 2-year OS of 89.6% (80.3%-100%), CIR of 11.8% (1.9%-21.7%), NRM of 4.5% (0%-10.7%), and chronic GVHD of 38.3% (23.0%-53.5%). Treatment-emergent adverse events were predominantly grade 1-2 and manageable. The most frequent events were leukopenia (5 [11%]), thrombocytopenia (5 [11%]) and nausea or vomiting (5 [11%]). Interpretation: Chidamide as maintenance could be a potential prophylactic strategy of relapse after allo-HCT for T-ALL/TCL, warranting further confirmation through phase III trials.
