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

Single fraction total body irradiation (SFTBI) as part of a myeloablative preparative regimen in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for hematopoietic malignancies was shown to have similar survival compared with fractionated total body irradiation (FTBI)-containing regimens, with less acute toxicity. The objective of this study was to determine long-term toxicity >2 years following SFTBI-based HSCT. Twenty-one patients were evaluated at a median follow-up of 6.8 years. Thyroid dysfunction was found in 21% of patients, 1 of whom (5.2%) was symptomatic; 23% had gonadal failure; 50% of patients with growth potential had linear growth disturbance; 27% had mild to moderate pulmonary disease; and 25% had cataracts. Intelligence quotient was stable. cGVHD was present in 28%, and 4 patients (19%) were on immune suppression 2 years posttransplant. Overall survival subsequent to 2 years posttransplant was 76% in this cohort of patients. No secondary malignancies were observed. In conclusion, the toxicities of SFTBI occurred at similar or reduced frequency compared with FTBI. SFTBI should be considered for patients who may benefit from a radiation-containing HSCT preparative regimen.
