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

Receipt of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can improve overall survival in older patients with intermediate or high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, utilization of HCT is poor. It is important to understand the factors that affect the receipt of HCT in a real-world setting among the older patients. We utilized the National Cancer Database to determine receipt of HCT in older patients (61-75 years) with intermediate or high-risk AML reported between 2003 and 2012. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with receipt of HCT. Only 5.5% of older patients (n = 17,555) underwent HCT. Factors associated with a lower likelihood of receiving HCT included receipt of care in a non-academic hospital, race other than white, older age, Charlson comorbidity score of ≥1, uninsured status, Medicaid or Medicare insurance, and lower educational status. The receipt of HCT in older patients is low and varies based on biological as well as non-biologic factors, such as hospital type, insurance, and educational status. Nationwide efforts to improve access to HCT for appropriate patients are necessary.
