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

Comorbidity burden is a well-established risk factor for non-relapse mortality (NRM) following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). We evaluated whether individual comorbidities could better characterize NRM risk. Furthermore, given differing toxicity profiles of conditioning agents, we hypothesized that the hazard of comorbidities is exerted in a regimen-specific manner. This retrospective study included 875 adults treated with an allo-SCT. Six conditioning regimens were considered. Across the entire cohort and within each regimen, the hazard ratio (HR) for NRM associated with individual comorbidities was assessed using multivariable Cox regressions. In the overall population, renal dysfunction, hypoalbuminemia, and severe hepatic disease were associated with the highest risk of NRM (HR 2.1, HR 1.9, HR 1.7, respectively). The risk associated with specific comorbidities was modified by the conditioning regimen and was not correlated with intensity. In patients conditioned with fludarabine/busulfan (Flu/Bu4), NRM risk was increased with cardiac disease (HR 5.54). Severe pulmonary disease and a pre-existing infection were associated with increased NRM risk in patients receiving fludarabine/melphalan (HR 4.9) and fludarabine/treosulfan (HR 3.6), respectively. Comorbidities may exert effects unique to particular conditioning regimens, suggesting that regimen selection should be driven in part by specific comorbidities.
