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

Few studies are available that compare PBSC and BM from unrelated donors, especially in adult high-risk ALL. To determine which graft source is superior in adult high-risk ALL, we analyzed the long-term outcomes of 106 consecutive transplants from 8/8-matched or 7/8-matched unrelated donors (38 PBSC vs 68 BM). All patients received a uniform strategy of pre-transplant therapy, myeloablative conditioning and GVHD prophylaxis. At 5 years, PBSC transplants showed higher incidence of chronic GVHD than did BM transplants (74.3% vs 46.7%, P=0.001). PBSC transplants showed outcomes comparable to those of BM transplants for relapse (23.7% vs 28.1%), non-relapse mortality (18.4% vs 25.0%), disease-free survival (57.9% vs 46.9%) and OS (57.9% vs 50.0%). In a separate comparison of outcomes between the two graft sources according to the presence of a Ph chromosome, no significant advantage of PBSC over BM was found in both subgroups of patients. Our data suggest that the outcomes of unrelated donor transplantation are similar between PBSC and BM in adult high-risk ALL. Whether PBSC should be the preferred graft source for a specific subgroup of adult ALL needs to be further investigated.
