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

Thirty-five patients (25 men and 10 women) with a median age of 20 years with severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) underwent HLA identical stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using a combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide +/- anti-thymocyte globulin between 2004 and 2006. Cyclosporine and mini methotrexate were used as GVHD prophylaxis. Graft source included peripheral blood stem cells (28) or G-CSF stimulated bone marrow (7). Two patients expired < 7 days post-HSCT while 32 (91.5%) patients engrafted with a median neutrophil and platelet engraftment time of 12 days each. Three patients (8.5%) developed veno-occlusive disease while acute GVHD occurred in 29% of evaluable patients, with chronic GVHD in 32%. At a mean follow-up of 22 months, 29 (82.8%) are alive and well. When compared with 26 patients previously transplanted using Cy200/antilymphocyte globulin, there was faster neutrophil engraftment (12 vs 16 days; P = 0.002) with significantly lower rejection rates (2.9 vs 30.7%; P = 0.003) and a superior event-free (82.8 vs 38.4%; P = 0.001) and overall survival (82.8 vs 46.1%; P = 0.005). A combination of fludarabine with cyclophosphamide +/- anti-thymocyte globulin reduces rejection and improves overall and event-free survival in Indian patients undergoing HSCT for severe aplastic anaemia.
