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

Background: The optimal bridge-to-transplant strategy for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute leukemia who remain in non-remission (NR) is undefined. We evaluated the strategy-level use of CLAG (cladribine, cytarabine, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) as part of sequential conditioning, rather than as stand-alone salvage therapy, before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods: This single-center retrospective case series included nine consecutive patients with R/R acute leukemia and bone marrow blasts ≥10% who underwent CLAG-based sequential conditioning followed by allo-HSCT between January 2021 and July 2023. Engraftment, transplant-related complications, non-relapse mortality, relapse, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated descriptively; no control group was available. Results: All nine patients achieved neutrophil and platelet engraftment and complete donor chimerism at approximately day +30. At a routine MFC/NGF analytical sensitivity of 10 Conclusion: In this highly selected cohort of nine NR patients, CLAG-based sequential conditioning permitted engraftment without non-relapse mortality, but infection and relapse remained frequent. These findings support technical feasibility only and should be regarded as exploratory and hypothesis-generating; efficacy or superiority cannot be established without larger prospective, multicenter, controlled studies.
