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 from HLA-matched siblings (MSD-SCT) for elderly patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is not a widely accepted first-line treatment. Recently, fludarabine, lower-dose cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin conditioning (Flu/lower-dose Cy/ATG) with lower toxicities has been investigated. To determine whether this regimen can overcome the negative effects of age, we analyzed 117 adult patients with SAA who received MSD-SCT using Flu/lower-dose Cy/ATG, and compared outcomes between 63 younger age group (YAG; ⩽40 years) and 54 older age group (OAG; >40 years) patients. No primary graft failure was observed. Neutrophil engraftment was significantly faster in the YAG compared with the OAG (12 vs 13 days; P=0.04). The incidences of acute grade II-IV (9.5% vs 9.3% at day 100; P=0.42) and chronic GVHD (8.1% vs 9.5% at 5 years; P=0.80), secondary graft failure (20.8% vs 7.9% at 5 years; P=0.11) and transplant-related mortality (5.4% and 11.1% at 5 years; P=0.91) were not significantly different between the YAG and OAG. In addition, failure-free (73.7% vs 81.0% at 5 years; P=0.73) and overall survival rates (93.7% vs 88.9% at 5 years; P=0.20) were comparable. Our results suggest that MSD-SCT using Flu/lower-dose Cy/ATG may be a feasible first-line treatment even in older patients with SAA.
