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

Children with biallelic mutations in FANCD1/BRCA2 are at uniquely high risks of leukemia and solid tumors. Preemptive bone marrow transplantation (PE-BMT) has been proposed to avoid the development of leukemia, but empirical study of PE-BMT is unlikely because of the rarity of these children and the unknown benefit of PE-BMT. We used survival analysis to estimate the risks of leukemia and the expected survival if leukemia could be eliminated by curative PE-BMT. We used the results in a decision analysis model to explore the plausibility of PE-BMT for children with variable ages at diagnosis and risks of transplantation-related mortality. For example, PE-BMT at 1 year of age with a 10% risk of transplantation-related mortality increased the mean survival by 1.7 years. The greatest benefit was for patients diagnosed between 1 and 3 years of age, after which the benefit of PE-BMT decreased with age at diagnosis, and the risk of death from solid tumors constituted a relatively greater burden of mortality. Our methods may be used to model survival for other hematologic disorders with limited empirical data and a pressing need for clinical guidance.
