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 undertook a retrospective analysis of a cohort of 67 patients with multiple myeloma who had received an autologous haematopoietic SCT (HSCT) following high-dose melphalan to explore the impact of mucositis on the systemic inflammatory response. A homogenous group of 16 patients without a documented infection and a group of 30 patients with bacteraemia were identified for whom complete data on neutropenia, an inflammatory response, infectious complications and mucositis were available. All patients showed a similar course of events with an inflammatory response coinciding with the occurrence of significant mucositis, regardless of the presence or absence of infection. The only differences between the two groups were significantly higher maximum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and lower citrulline levels for patients with bacteraemia, suggesting a causative role for mucositis in the occurrence of bacteraemia. Statistical analysis showed a significant association over time between citrulline levels, to a lesser extent bacteraemia, but not neutropenia, and the inflammatory response measured by CRP. These data suggest that the inflammatory response after conditioning for a HSCT is the result of the chemotherapy-induced mucositis and independent of neutropenia. Though primary inflammation appeared due to mucositis, infections resulting from mucosal barrier injury and neutropenia aggravated the inflammatory response.
