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

Since the first successful allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) was performed in Korea in 1983, there has been a noticeable progress in both the quantity and quality of HSCT over 24 years. There are 38 HSCT centers in Korea and the number of both allogeneic and autologous HSCTs has been increasing every year. As of December 2006, a total of 9561 HSCTs have been carried out in Korea, including 5617 allogeneic (59%) and 3944 autologous HSCTs (41%). The main indications were acute leukemia (3979, 78% allogeneic); lymphoma (1244, 90% autologous); myeloma (939, 92% autologous) and aplastic anemia (938). Characteristically, severe aplastic anemia accounts for a considerable proportion of transplants (10%), compared with western countries. Recently, there has been a marked increase in the number of unrelated transplants and the usage of PBSCs. The pattern of infectious diseases associated with HSCT is quite different. The rapid expansion of unrelated donor pools worldwide has changed the outlook of an unrelated donor search in Korea.
