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

The aim of the study was to examine endothelial function in patients with hematological malignancies treated with high-dose chemotherapy followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The studies were conducted on 43 consecutive patients qualified for HSCT following high-dose chemotherapy based on the current standards. Then, due to exclusion criteria, a group of 38 patients were chosen for further investigations. Evaluation of endothelial function by means of flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) was conducted in patients with hematological malignancies before HSCT (test A) and after HSCT (test B). Brachial artery diameter (BAD) after occlusion, change in BAD and FMD were significantly lower after HSCT as compared to the results obtained before the transplantation (p < 0.05). The regression analysis indicated that administration of fludarabine and cytarabine, and also higher blood concentrations of creatinine represented risk factors for the impairment of endothelial function expressed as decreased FMD value. In patients with hematopoietic malignancies treated with HSCT, endothelial function assessed by the flow-mediated dilatation was impaired after chemotherapy and stem cell administration.
