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

Despite significantly improved survival and response rates in patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma, it still remains an incurable disease with a poor outcome, especially in high-risk groups. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation offers a potentially curative option but remains controversial due to considerable treatment-related toxicity. We analyzed 109 consecutive myeloma patients who had received reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic transplantation at the Freiburg University Medical Center between 2000 and 2016. Although most patients were heavily pre-treated in high-risk constellations, the overall response rate was high with 70%, the median overall survival (OS) 39.2%, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) 14.2 months, with a median follow up of 71.5 months. Survival was significantly better in patients with response to previous therapies than in those with progressive disease (median OS 65
