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

We compared the safety and efficacy of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) to matched donor SCT (matched-SCT) in treating hematological malignancies. The Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were searched through 21 June 2017 using the search term "(hematological disease) AND matched AND (haploidentical OR haplo-identical OR haplo identical OR haplo transplantation OR haplo transplant OR haplo-SCT OR haplo-HSCT OR haplo-HCT)." Twenty-five studies enrolling 11,359 patients (haplo-SCT: 2677; matched-SCT: 8682) were included. The primary outcomes were acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), non-relapse mortality, and 1-year cumulative incidence of relapse. Haplo-SCT was associated with similar risks as matched-SCT for all primary endpoints. Subgroup analysis of patients who received a matched-SCT from a related donor revealed that patients who received haplo-SCT had a lower risk of acute GVHD. Among patients who received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), those who received haplo-SCT had a higher risk of acute grade II-IV GVHD and non-relapse mortality than did patients who received a matched-SCT from a related or unrelated donor. Haplo-SCT should continue to be considered as a safe and effective transplant option when a matched donor is unavailable, but it may not be suitable for patients who receive RIC.
