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

Our study aimed to compare treatment outcomes between hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from haploidentical donors (HID) and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in adults with acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA). The medical records of 113 SAA adults who received IST, including rabbit ATG and cyclosporin (N = 37), or HID HSCT (N = 76) within 6 months of diagnosis at two institutions were retrospectively reviewed. Estimated 8-year overall survival (OS) was comparable between the IST and HID HSCT groups (75.6 vs. 83.7%, respectively, P = 0.328), but failure free survival (FFS) was significantly lower in IST group than HID HSCT group (38.5 vs. 83.7%, respectively, P = 0.001). Furthermore, a significant improvement in FFS was observed with HSCT over IST in patients under 40 years old. At the last follow-up, patients in HSCT group achieved better Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) than those in IST group (100 [20-100] vs. 90 [20-100], P = 0.002). In terms of blood count, 83.1% (54/65) of patients in HSCT group showed complete recovery compared to only 38.2% (13/34) in IST group (P < 0.001). These data suggest that HID HSCT could be an effective alternative treatment option for SAA adults, and additional prospective studies are necessary.
