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

Individual therapeutic monitoring of busulfan (BU) minimizes its toxicity and improves the therapeutic outcomes during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). For individual dose adjustment, several blood collections are performed that are uncomfortable for patients. The aim of this pilot study was to validate a laboratory method for quantification of BU in saliva and to present the results obtained using this protocol in HSCT patients. We performed analyses of selectivity, precision and accuracy of saliva with standard concentrations of BU using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. We also determined salivary and plasmatic concentrations of BU in six HSCT patients. Saliva exhibited excellent selectivity, precision and accuracy for quantification of BU. In the patient samples, significant correlations were noted between plasmatic and salivary concentrations of BU (r=0.97, P<0.001 in the test dose; r=0.93, P<0.001 in the adjusted dose). Passing &Bablok regression revealed good agreement between the two methods (R
