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

Allogeneic SCT is curative for bone marrow failure in Fanconi anemia (FA) patients but the optimal conditioning regimen is undetermined. We report here our experience with 56 FA patients who underwent allogeneic matched related SCT. The conditioning regimen varied according to time of SCT and disease status at SCT; 22 patients (group A) received Cy 20 mg/kg, thoraco-abdominal radiation and antithymocyte globulins (ATG); and 34 patients (group B) received Cy 60 mg/kg and ATG. Median time to engraftment was similar (14 days) in both groups. Hemorrhagic cystitis was significantly more common in group B. Overall survival and event-free survival of all patients were 85 and 78.3% respectively. For groups A and B respectively, overall survival was 72.5 and 96.9% (P=0.013); and event-free survival was 72.5 and 82.3% (P=0.3). The use of the nonradiation Cy/ATG regimen in matched related SCT for FA patients offers better overall and event-free survival.
