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

With advances in supportive care, autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT) is increasingly being performed for patients older than 60 years. We analyzed patients receiving an AHCT for multiple myeloma or lymphoma in a contemporary cohort (2010-2012), with consistent treatment and supportive care and compared outcomes [CTCAE grade 3-5 toxicities, nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and overall-survival (OS)] of younger (40-59 years, n = 77) versus older (≥60 years, n = 67) recipients. The proportion of patients with neutropenic infections was higher in the older group (64% vs. 44%; P = 0.02). The proportion of patients with any grade 3-5 toxicity was also higher in the older group (84% vs. 67%, P = 0.03). In multivariate analysis, older age was significantly associated with higher odds (OR: 2.57, 95% CI:1.09-6.05) of grade 3-5 toxicity. The NRM was 3% (older) vs. 0% (younger) at 1 year. The probability of OS at 2 years was lower in the older group (76% vs. 90%, P = 0.04). Though AHCT can be performed safely in older recipients, the higher toxicity and slightly higher NRM in this population needs attention. Studies focusing on risk-stratification in older patients would further help predict toxicity. Further studies addressing enhanced supportive care needs for older patients who are most likely to benefit are indicated.
