BU- vs TBI-based conditioning for adult patients with ALL.
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 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Evidence suggests an advantage for TBI over BU as a component of conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with ALL. We have employed both TBI and BU for conditioning in ALL and reviewed our experience to compare outcomes. From July 1989 to June 2008, we identified 86-adult ALL patients treated with either a TBI- or BU-based regimen and transplanted with either a well-matched sibling or unrelated donor. Data including demographics, immunophenotype, disease status and cytogenetic risk were examined by Cox proportional hazards analysis. Patients treated with TBI were older (median age 40 vs 33 years; P=0.018), had a higher-risk cytogenetic profile (P=0.010), were more often transplanted using an unrelated donor (P=0.038) and were treated more recently (P<0.001). There was a significant improvement in EFS (P=0.046), and a trend to improved OS (P=0.08) in patients treated with TBI compared with those treated with BU. However, the advantage for TBI could not be confirmed by multivariable analysis where only disease status retained statistical significance.
