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

We analysed 86 patients with CML who received unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT), identified through a registry of the Japan Cord Blood Bank Network. At transplantation, the median patient age was 39 years (range, 1-67 years); 38 patients were in chronic phase (CP), 13 in the accelerated phase (AP) and 35 in blast crisis (BC). Median duration from diagnosis to UCBT was 1.5 years (range, 0.2-14.6 years). A nucleated cell (NC) dose of more than 3.0 x 10(7) per kg was sufficient to achieve neutrophil (91%) and platelet recovery (86%), whereas the lower dose of NC achieved only 60 and 61%, respectively. The duration and type of pre-transplant treatment did not affect neutrophil or platelet recovery. Results of multivariate analysis indicated that older patients (>50 years) had a higher incidence of transplant-related mortality. Advanced-disease stage and lower doses of NCs were significantly associated with lower leukaemia-free and event-free survival. At 2-year survival for patients in CP, AP and BC was 71, 59 and 32%, respectively (P=0.0004). A pre-transplant European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation scoring system was effective in predicting the outcome of UCBT. We conclude that UCBT is a reasonable alternative therapy for patients with CML.
