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

objectiveThis study aimed to describe and compare the nutritional status of adult patients submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at two different time points (admission and discharge).

methodsA retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study was performed based on clinical, laboratory and nutritional data obtained from medical records of adult patients of both genders submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a bone marrow transplantation reference center in Rio de Janeiro in the period from 2010 to 2013. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software (version 22.0).

resultsSixty-four patients were evaluated. The mean age was 42.1±3.2 years and the most prevalent disease was acute myeloid leukemia (39%). There was a high prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea (100%), vomiting (97%) and mucositis (93%). Between admission and discharge there was a significant decrease in the median weight (-2.5kg; 71.5 vs. 68.75kg; p-value<0.001), body mass index (-0.9kg/m(2); 24.8 vs. 24.4kg/m(2); p-value<0.001), and serum albumin levels (-0.2g/dL; 3.7 vs. 3.6g/dL; p-value=0.024). The survival time after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation correlated negatively with C-reactive protein at discharge (CC=-0.72; p-value<0.001) and positively with serum albumin levels (CC=0.56; p-value=0.004) and with high total protein level at discharge (CC=0.53; p-value=0.006).

conclusionOur results suggest that patients submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have compromised nutritional status during the hospital stay for transplantation.
