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

Peripheral blood is a convenient source of stem cells for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, in autologous transplants, the harvest failure rates are high because of inadequate mobilization using G-CSF alone. Plerixafor is a potent mobilizer when used with G-CSF. However, its routine use is limited by high cost. This is a retrospective study done at a tertiary care oncology centre in India. All the harvest records were analyzed between Jan 2015 and Nov 2017. May 2016 onwards pre-harvest peripheral blood CD34 count was done in all cases of autologous transplants on day 4 of G-CSF therapy and they were given a single dose of Plerixafor if counts were < 20 cell per cumm. The results were compared amongst various groups. A total of 321 cases were analyzed. 172/321 were allogenic transplant cases of which 5% (n = 7) failed to achieve a target live stem cell dose of > 2 million per kg of the recipient. The overall failure rate in autologous group (n = 149) was 27% (n = 41) (
