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

Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) has evolved from a salvage procedure for otherwise-fatal leukemia into a curative modality spanning nearly every hematological malignancy and several non-malignant disorders. The contemporary landscape has been reshaped by three converging forces: the refinement of disease-specific risk stratification (European LeukemiaNet [ELN] 2022 for acute myeloid leukemia, Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System [IPSS-M] for myelodysplastic syndromes, Mutation-Enhanced International Prognostic Scoring System [MIPSS70+ v2.0], and Myelofibrosis Transplant Scoring System [MTSS] for myelofibrosis); the integration of measurable residual disease (MRD) into dynamic, response-adapted transplant decisions; and the approval of immune effector cell therapies that have displaced transplantation from several long-standing indications while creating new ones (bridge-to-transplant, post-CAR-T consolidation). In parallel, post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has largely equalized outcomes across matched sibling, matched unrelated, and mismatched alternative donors, and novel agents (ruxolitinib, belumosudil, axatilimab) have materially reduced graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) morbidity. This narrative review synthesizes current indications for autologous (auto-HSCT) and allogeneic (allo-HSCT) transplantations in adults, and flags areas of persistent controversy where randomized data are still maturing. Across all indications, the clinician's question is shifting from "transplant or not?" towards "which donor, which conditioning, which bridge, and which post-transplant maintenance?", each tailored to disease biology, MRD trajectory, and patient fitness.
