Variation in supportive care practices in hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Article in Biology of blood and marrow transplantation : journal of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
Hematopoietic cell transplantation is an elective procedure that results in prolonged immune suppression and high treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Transplant centers and physicians use a variety of prophylaxis and monitoring strategies to prevent or minimize complications. Little is known about the variability in these practices. We conducted an international Internet-based survey of 526 physicians to describe the spectrum of supportive care practices employed. Consistency in pretransplant cardiac (96%) and pulmonary (95%) screening, informed consent documentation (93%), and use of antifungal prophylaxis (92%) was observed. Greater heterogeneity was seen in use of myelogenous growth factors, empiric antibiotic therapy, protective isolation procedures, posttransplant monitoring, and environmental and social restrictions. Although some practice differences were associated with physician characteristics and transplant type, most practice variation remained unexplained. These results suggest a need for well-designed observational and interventional studies to provide data about which supportive care practices improve outcomes. For practices proved to be beneficial, publication of guidelines and incorporation of monitoring into quality improvement initiatives may help standardize practices.
