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: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring favorable-risk genetic features at initial diagnosis (FR-AML) commonly achieves remission after chemotherapy, but the optimal post-remission strategy remains controversial. This study compared allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with chemotherapy and explored prognostic factors. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 190 patients with FR-AML treated at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between 2012 and 2022. Patients were stratified into the chemotherapy (n = 118) and allo-HSCT (n = 72) groups according to their post-induction treatment. Survival outcomes, including overall survival (OS), leukemia-free survival (LFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), and non-relapse mortality (NRM), were assessed using Kaplan-Meier and competing-risk analyses. Multivariate Cox regression identified independent prognostic factors. Results: At 3 years, the allo-HSCT group had higher OS (86.0% vs. 61.3%, Conclusions: Allo-HSCT was associated with improved survival and reduced relapse in FR-AML. This benefit extended beyond patients transplanted in CR1 to those who later develop R/R disease, in whom salvage allo-HSCT confers a marked survival advantage over chemotherapy. Deferred transplantation may remain feasible for selected patients when a suitable donor is available. Prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings and optimize post-remission treatment strategies in this population.
