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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to document hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) activity and trends at our treatment center. MATERIAL AND

methodsData collected over a 10-year period were retrospectively analyzed, concentrating primarily on types of HSCT, transplant-related mortality (TRM), stem cell sources, indications for HSCT, and causes of death following HSCT.

resultsIn total, 222 allogeneic (allo)-HSCT (87.4%) and 32 autologous (auto)-HSCT (12.6%) procedures were performed between 1998 and 2008. Stem cells obtained from unrelated donors were used in 22.6% (50/222) of the allo- HSCTs. Cord blood was the source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in 12.2% of all transplants. The most common indication for allo-HSCT was hemoglobinopathy (43.2%), versus neuroblastoma (53.1%) for auto-HSCT. The TRM rate 1 year post transplantation was 18.3% ± 2.5% for all transplants, but differed according to transplantation type (23.5% ± 7.9% for auto-HSCT and 17.5% ± 2.6% for allo-HSCT). The most common cause of death 1 year post HSCT was infection (35.9%).

conclusionThe TRM rate in the patients that underwent allo-HSCT was similar to that which has been previously reported; however, the TRM rate in the patients that underwent auto-HSCT was higher than previously reported in developed countries. The selection of these patients to be transplanted must be made attentively.
