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

In all, 22 patients with confirmed Fanconi anemia (FA) underwent stem cell transplantation (SCT) from HLA-matched, related donors at KFSHRC. Median age at SCT was 7.6 years (range, 2.5-14.6 years). Conditioning regimen consisted of cyclophosphamide (CY) 15 mg/kg/day intravenously (i.v.) for 4 consecutive days, in addition to equine antithymocyte globulins (ATG) given i.v. at 40 mg/kg/day for four doses pre-SCT. No radiation therapy was given. For graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, we used cyclosporin at the standard doses; ATG was added at 20 mg/kg/dose i.v. on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 post-SCT (total of six doses). All patients engrafted and are alive and transfusion independent with a median follow-up time of 20.2 months (range, 3.3-59 months). One patient however developed a decrease in her WBC and platelet count. Her work-up revealed slightly hypocellular bone marrow, and a series of chimerism studies over 1 year confirmed that she has stable mixed chimerism; she remains transfusion independent. We conclude that low-dose CY without radiation therapy can be used satisfactorily in the conditioning of patients with FA undergoing related SCT.
