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

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative therapeutic modality for myelofibrosis (MF) at present. The optimal timing of HCT is not known in the presence of wider availability of less risky nontransplant therapies such as JAK 1/2 inhibitors. Careful review of patient, disease, and transplant-related factors is required in the appropriate selection of HCT vs the best available nontransplant therapies. We highlight some of the relevant issues and positioning of HCT in light of evolving data on JAK 1/2 inhibitors. The goal of this study is to provide the reader with updated evidence of HCT for MF, recognizing that knowledge in this area is limited by the absence of comparative studies between HCT and nontransplant therapies. Prospective studies are needed for better information on: the determination of optimal timing and conditioning regimens, the best way to integrate JAK inhibitors in the HCT protocols, and the impact of JAK inhibitors on graft-versus-host disease.
