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

Relapse is the overwhelming cause of treatment failure after autologous transplantation for multiple myeloma (MM). For patients with a syngeneic donor, twin transplants provide a healthy graft that is free of myeloma. The relative impact of the graft on posttransplant relapse can be estimated by comparing risk of relapse after hematopoietic cell transplantation from genetically identical twins versus autotransplants because confounding differences in minor or major histocompatibility antigens are absent in the syngeneic transplant setting. Outcomes of 43 subjects who received twin transplants for MM were compared to 170 matched autotransplant recipients reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). Multivariate analysis was performed by fitting a Cox model stratified on matched pairs. The matched transplant patients studied were similar with respect to subject-, disease-, and transplant-related characteristics. Cumulative incidence of relapse/progression was significantly lower, and progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly higher following twin transplants. In multivariate analysis, the probability of relapse/progression was lower in twins (relative risk [RR] = 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.28-0.86, P = .011). Twin transplants have a significantly lower relapse risk than autotransplants in MM, suggesting that graft composition may impact outcomes following high-dose chemotherapy.
