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

Myelodysplastic syndrome with biallelic TP53 inactivation (MDS-biTP53) patients represents an ultra-high-risk subgroup with dismal outcomes. Even after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), relapse rates remain extremely high and survival is poor. This preliminary case series reports the outcomes of 8 consecutive patients with MDS-biTP53 who received a novel sequential therapy of decitabine (DAC) combined with the XPO-1 inhibitor selinexor, followed by allo-HSCT at a single center between September 2024 and December 2025. At a median follow-up of 7.3 months (95% CI, 4.2-10.4 months) from HSCT, median overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were not reached. At last follow-up, 7/8 patients remained alive (OS 87.5%) and 6/8 were relapse-free (RFS 75%), with one relapse (12.5%). This patient successfully achieved a second complete remission following preemptive therapy with low-dose decitabine combined with donor lymphocyte infusion and remained in remission at the last follow-up. Two patients developed serious infections during the peritransplant period. One patient with pre-transplant intestinal colonization of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) ultimately died due to CRE bloodstream infection followed by intestinal graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Overall treatment-related toxicity was deemed manageable, and the incidence of grade III-IV acute GVHD was 25% (2/8). This preliminary study provides encouraging evidence that sequential decitabine and selinexor therapy followed by allo-HSCT may improve outcomes with acceptable toxicity in patients with ultra-high-risk MDS-biTP53. However, these findings are limited by the small sample size, relatively short follow-up, and retrospective, single-center design. Confirmation in larger prospective trials is warranted.
