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

Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (SCT) is a potentially curative therapy for lymphoid malignancies. Myeloablative conditioning is associated with high non-relapse mortality (NRM). Reduced-intensity condition (RIC) reduces NRM but relapse rate is increased. Novel regimens with intensive anti-malignancy activity but limited toxicity are of benefit. We evaluated outcomes of 144 lymphoma patients given allogeneic SCT with RIC consisting of fludarabine and treosulfan (FT, n=50), intravenous-busulfan (FB2, n=38) or melphalan (FM, n=56). Sixty-nine patients (48%) had chemo-sensitive disease and 75 (52%) had chemo-refractory disease at SCT. The median follow-up is 39 months (4-149). Three-year survival was 67, 74 and 48% after FT, FB2 and FM, in chemo-sensitive disease (P=0.14) and 34, 11 and 17% in chemo-refractory disease, respectively (P=0.08). Three-year NRM was 24, 24 and 54% (P=0.002), whereas relapse mortality was 22, 34 and 18%, respectively (P=0.13). Multivariate analysis identified a high comorbidity-score, chemo-refractory disease and FM as associated with shortened survival. In conclusion, FB2 is associated with low NRM and good results in chemo-sensitive disease, but with higher relapse mortality rates. FM controls disease better, but with high NRM. FT probably balances these outcomes more optimally. It is as safe as FB2 and as cytoreductive as FM, resulting in improved outcome, mostly in advanced disease.
