Patient Perspectives Regarding Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation in Myelofibrosis.

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.
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
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative treatment for patients with myelofibrosis (MF); however, many HCT-eligible patients decline this potentially life-saving procedure. The reasons behind this decision are not clear. We sought to survey patients with MF to understand their perspective on HCT. A 63-question survey was posted on myeloproliferative neoplasm patient advocacy websites. A total of 129 patients with MF responded to the survey. Among these patients, 49 (41%) were referred for HCT, and 41(32%) attended the transplantation consult. Of the patients who attended the transplantation consult, 24 (59%) did not plan on going on to HCT, and 16 (41%) intended to proceed with HCT. Reasons for the decision to not undergo transplantation included the desire to not be ill, desire to not spend time in the hospital, and concerns about overall quality of life. Specifically, concerns related to financial impact and the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were expressed. Patients who decided to proceed with HCT felt that this would extend their survival and allow them to be around family for longer. This is the first survey to investigate patient perceptions regarding HCT for MF. Less than one-half of the patients were referred for HCT, and of those, less than one-half planned on proceeding with the transplantation, suggesting that many patients do not receive this life-saving procedure. Further exploration of the basis of patients' reluctance to proceed with HCT is warranted.
