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.

Abstract

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has an established role in the treatment of symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM). Our aim was to analyse the impact of selected prognostic parameters on the survival of patients with MM after ASCT. The new International Staging System (ISS) was also evaluated. A total of 133 MM patients were transplanted in our centre between 1995 and 2002. Following ASCT, 35% of patients were in complete remission (CR) and 60% were in partial remission (PR). The median progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival from transplantation were 29.5 and 68.8 months, respectively. Transplant-related mortality (TRM) was 3%. On multivariate analysis, factors associated with significantly shorter OS were lack of CR after transplant (P = 0.002, hazard ratio (HR): 3.1), stage 3 according to ISS (P = 0.001, HR: 3.0) and age at transplant over 60 years (P = 0.035, HR: 2.0). The status of disease before ASCT did not significantly affect PFS and OS after transplantation. We conclude that ASCT is a safe and effective procedure in MM patients, associated with low TRM. The survival after ASCT was dependent on response after ASCT, stage according to ISS and age.
