Comorbidity index does not predict outcome in allogeneic myeloablative transplants conditioned with fludarabine/i.v. busulfan (FluBu4).
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The assessment of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) has been developed to predict the risk of TRM in patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT. As the myeloablative fludarabine/i.v. busulfan (FluBu4) regimen has been associated with limited extra-hematologic toxicity, we analyzed whether the HCT-CI represents a useful tool in transplant patients conditioned with this regimen. Of the 52 consecutive patients who received an allogeneic HSCT with FluBu4 at our institution, 50 were evaluable for assessing pre-transplant HCT-CI. Patients were divided into three groups: score 0 (n=7); score 1-2 (n=17) and score >3 (n=26). The three groups did not differ significantly in age, diagnosis, previous lines of chemotherapy and type of donor. High-risk disease was present in 57% of low, 82% of intermediate and 85% of high HCT-CI score groups (P=ns). Two-year TRM and OS was 14.3 and 85.7% in the low score group, 23.5 and 58.8% in the intermediate score group and 15.4 and 50% in the high HCT-CI score group (P=ns). In this study, the HCT-CI lacked sensitivity to reliably predict TRM although patients with no comorbidities showed a trend for improved survival.
