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

A recent validation analysis at our center among allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients did not find the HCT-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) to clearly segregate patient's transplant-related risk. We hypothesized that the discriminating and predictive power of the HCT-CI for mortality could be improved by eliminating the assignment of categorical weights to comorbidities and instead replacing them with hazard ratios (HR) from a Fine and Gray adjusted regression model. This approach allowed us to look carefully at each component of the comorbidity index. We developed the modified comorbidity index (MCI) using a cohort of 444 adult allogeneic HCT recipients using a pure multiplicative model. Compared with low-risk patients, the HR for non-relapse mortality (NRM) using the HCT-CI was 1.3 (95% confidence intervals, 0.7-2.4) for intermediate risk and 1.6 (0.9-2.8) for high-risk patients, and with the MCI was 1.6 (0.9-2.8) and 2.7 (1.5-5.0), respectively. In conclusion, we are introducing the MCI which may have higher discriminating and predictive power for overall survival and NRM. Validation of the HCT-CI and the MCI in larger and separate cohorts of HCT recipients is still needed.
