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

Umbilical cord blood (CB) is increasingly used as an alternative source of stem cells in adult unrelated transplantation. Although registry studies report similar overall outcomes in comparison with BM/PB, comparative studies focusing on severe infections and infection-RM (IRM) with a long follow-up are scarce. A total of 434 consecutive unrelated transplants (1997-2009) were retrospectively analyzed to compare overall outcomes, incidence and risk factors of severe viral and invasive fungal infections in CB (n=65) vs BM/PB recipients (n=369). The 5-year OS was 38 vs 43%, respectively (P=0.2). CB transplantation (CBT) was associated with a higher risk of invasive aspergillosis (100-days-cumulative incidence 16 vs 6%, P=0.04) and CMV infection without differences in RM. No statistically significant differences were found regarding NRM (NRM of 38% in CB vs 37% in BM/PB at 1 year) nor IRM (30% in CB vs 27% in BM/PB at 1 year). In the overall population, NRM and IRM improved in more recent years. In adults who receive a single CBT, the risk of severe infections is increased when compared with unrelated BM/PB recipients, but mortality from infections is similar, leading to similar NRM and survival.
