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

We compared outcomes after hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients of African American (n = 84) and Caucasian (n = 215) descent with severe aplastic anemia. African Americans and Caucasians were matched for age, donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen match, graft type, and transplantation year. The median follow-up of surviving patients was 5 years. In multivariate analysis, overall mortality risks were higher for African Americans compared to Caucasians (relative risk 1.73, P = 0.01). The 5-year probabilities of overall survival adjusted for interval from diagnosis to transplantation, and performance score was 58% for African Americans and 73% for Caucasians. The day-100 cumulative incidence of grade III-IV, but not grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), was higher in African Americans compared to Caucasians (29% vs. 13%, P = 0.006). Although the 5-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was not significantly different between the racial groups, African Americans were more likely to have extensive chronic GVHD compared to Caucasians (72% vs. 49%, P = 0.06). Survival differences between Caucasians and African Americans can be attributed to multiple factors. Our data suggest that some of the observed survival differences between Caucasians and African Americans may be explained by higher rates of acute GVHD and severity of chronic GVHD.
