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

aim of the studyThe majority of patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), while allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is indicated in selected clinical situations. HCT carries the risk of severe complications, while the toxicity profile of dasatinib and nilotinib may lead to adverse reactions affecting the quality of life (QoL). We present the results of observational analysis of CML patients who underwent HCT after exposure to second-generation TKI (TKI2), with respect to their quality of life assessed comparatively after transplantation. MATERIAL AND

methodsEligible subjects included 19 patients. The quality of life and global health assessment were performed with a questionnaire comparing the signs and symptoms present during the TKI2-therapy with those related to post-transplant complications, including psychosocial problems. RESULTS AND

conclusionsMost patients had no/few problems with exhausting activities, no/few difficulties during long-distance walks, and do not/rarely rest in the daytime. Seventeen (89.5%) patients reported at least one symptom related to TKI2-therapy and most of them disappeared after HCT. Thirteen (68.4%) patients noted no serious complication after HCT. Most patients claimed to have a very good QoL and general health compared to the period prior to HCT. We found statistically significant improvement in global health (
