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

Patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (r/r AML) harbouring FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations generally have poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The second-generation FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib provides better disease control compared to standard relapse therapies and was approved based on two randomized trials. We analysed its efficacy and safety in a real-world cohort of r/r AML patients undergoing gilteritinib treatment including allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Data were collected from all consecutive r/r AML patients with FLT3-internal tandem duplication and/or FLT3-tyrosine kinase domain mutations receiving gilteritinib at 25 centres. Response and survival were analysed using descriptive and correlative statistics. A total of 156 patients were analysed, 55.1% with relapse after previous alloHSCT, and 46.2% with prior FLT3 inhibitor exposure. The overall complete remission/incomplete remission (CR/Cri) rate was 45.3%, with a median overall survival (OS) of 10.0 months. Patients receiving gilteritinib only had a 1-year OS of 34%, while those with consolidating alloHSCT had a 1-year OS of 76%-92%, depending on gilteritinib maintenance post-transplant. Resuming gilteritinib post-transplant led to an 85.7% CR/CRi rate. Our real-world data confirm that gilteritinib is an effective single-agent therapy for r/r AML with FLT3 mutations, with best outcomes when used as a bridge to transplant and post-transplant maintenance.
