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

Stem cell transplantation is increasingly used in the management of immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL). It is considered the standard of care to administer growth factors to accelerate neutrophil recovery after transplantation. However, unique toxicities occur with growth factor use in patients with AL who receive a stem cell transplant. We report a cohort of patients who underwent transplantation without receiving posttransplantation growth factors. In total, 282 patients received a stem cell transplant. A neutrophil count of 500/mul was achieved in 50, 75 and 90% of patients at 14, 16 and 22 days, respectively. A platelet count of 20 000/mul was achieved in 50, 75 and 90% of patients at 14, 20 and 31 days, respectively. Non-staphylococcal bacteremia was detected in 16% of patients. The median hospital stay was 9 days. It is feasible and reasonable to withhold growth factor therapy after autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with AL.
