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

unlabelledCell dose is a major limitation for umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation because units containing a minimum of 2.5 x 10(7) total nucleated cells (TNC)/kilogram patient body weight are frequently not available. The transplantation of 2 partially HLA-matched UCB units has been adopted as a simple approach for increasing the TNC.We sought to determine whether the relative safety and efficacy of this approach was comparable with a single UCB transplantation. Included are adults with acute leukemia who received transplants with 1 (n =106) or 2 (n =303) UCB units. All UCB units for single UCB transplantations contained TNC ≥ 2.5 x 10(7)/kg. For double UCB transplantations, the total TNC for units 1 and 2 were > 2.5 x 10(7)/kg but in approximately half of these transplantations, 1 of the 2 units contained < 2.5 x 10(7) TNC/kg. Adjusting for factors associated with outcomes, risks of neutrophil recovery (odds ratio 0.83, P =.59), transplantation-related mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.91, P= .63), relapse (HR 0.90, P= .64), and overall mortality (HR 0.93, P= .62) was similar after double UCB and adequate dose single UCB transplantations. These data support double UCB unit transplantation for acute leukemia when an adequately dosed single UCB unit is not available thereby extending access to nearly all patients. KEY POINTS: Efficacy of transplanting adequately dosed 1- or 2-cord blood units.
