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

To clarify the clinical impact of prior use of azacitidine (AZA) on outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), we retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes of 15 MDS patients who were treated with AZA before allo-HSCT (AZA group). We compared the outcomes of these 15 patients with 52 MDS patients who were solely given the best supportive care (BSC) before allo-HSCT (BSC group). Although patients in the AZA group were older with higher International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) scores compared to patients in the BSC group, no significant differences were found between the two groups in overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) or non-relapse mortality. However, in patients with a higher IPSS score (Int-2/High), pre-transplant AZA may provide better OS and DFS and lower CIR. Acute graft-versus-host disease rates were similar between the two groups. These results should be reassuring to patients with high-risk MDS receiving AZA before allo-HSCT.
