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

Infection-related mortality (IRM) is responsible for a major proportion of all cases of non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allogeneic PBSCT (alloPBSCT). We analyzed 580 consecutive adults who received a first alloPBSCT from an HLA-identical sibling from 1994 to 2008 at a single institution to describe the severe infections and report the incidence, causes and risk factors for IRM and NRM. Both IRM and NRM decreased with time; within the period of 1994-2000, the 2-year incidence of IRM and NRM was 22 and 31%, respectively, vs 11 and 16% within the period of 2001-2008 (P<0.05 for both comparisons). In multivariate analysis, the variables that increased IRM were within the earlier period of 1994-2000 (P<0.01), poor performance status (P<0.01), grade II-IV acute GVHD (P<0.001) and invasive fungal infection (IFI) (P<0.001) or CMV disease (P<0.001) after transplant. With respect to NRM, earlier time period was also identified as a risk factor (P<0.001), as well as IFIs (P<0.001) and CMV disease (P<0.001). The intensity of the conditioning regimen had no effect on IRM and NRM. These results showed a significant reduction in IRM and NRM over a period of 15 years. The development of IFIs and CMV disease continue to have an impact on NRM.
