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

Since the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may depend on the intensity of the pretreatment, we studied the incidence of CMV infections after reduced-intensity compared to myeloablative conditioning. A total of 82 patients with matched related or unrelated donors were prospectively monitored for CMV infections after HSCT by CMV-PCR techniques, CMV-antigenemia and clinical observation. A total of 45 patients received reduced-intensity conditioning consisting of fludarabine, busulfan and ATG and 37 patients received myeloablative conditioning. Leukocyte engraftment occurred after a median of 15 vs 18 days (P=0.012) and platelet engraftment after 12 days vs 20 days (P=0.001), respectively. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grade II-IV was observed in 58 vs 54% patients (P=0.737), respectively. The onset and peak values of CMV-antigenemia and DNAemia and the incidence of CMV infections did not differ statistically significantly between the two treatment groups. Multivariate analysis confirmed CMV seropositivity of the recipient (P=0.035), acute GVHD II-IV (P=0.001) but not the type of conditioning as significant risk factors for CMV-antigenemia. In conclusion, the kinetics of CMV-antigenemia and DNAemia and the incidence of CMV infections were not statistically different in patients who received HSCT after reduced-intensity conditioning with fludarabine, busulfan and ATG compared to myeloablative conditioning.
