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

According to recent reports, fast engraftment with minimal transplant-related toxicity and mortality (TRT, TRM) can be achieved by using reduced-intensity preparative regimens in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We report our experience with related (39%) and unrelated (61%) HSCT in 44 high risk patients (AML, ALL, CML, CLL) receiving either busulfan/fludarabine or busulfane/fludarabine/ATG or TBI/fludarabine as reduced-intensity preparative regimens. Organ toxicity was minimal with mild mucositis and no major bleeding. Acute GVHD was recorded in 64% of the patients. Twenty-three patients achieved complete remission after transplantation, and complete chimerism was obtained in all patients with stable engraftment (35 patients). Twenty-nine patients died: 15 due to relapse/progression, 14 due to TRM. Survival with median follow-up of 18.5 months was significantly better in patients with matched related transplants compared to patients with other transplants. However, there was no difference between related and unrelated transplants with regard to engraftment, TRM and GVHD. In conclusion, our results in high-risk patients transplanted in CR or with smoldering leukemia from a related donor are encouraging, although a longer follow-up and a larger group of patients is needed in order to evaluate the role of different reduced-intensity preparative regimens in unrelated and related HSCT.
