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

There is paucity of data from developing countries on the clinical outcomes in myeloma post-autologous transplantation. In this retrospective study, we used hospital records to retrieve data of patients with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) from January 1995 to December 2014 at our centre. During the study period, 245 patients underwent ASCT for myeloma. Of these, 19%, 37% and 37% were in complete response, very good partial response and partial response respectively at the time of ASCT. Only in 14 (5.7%) patients, the stem cells were cryopreserved. The transplant related mortality was 2.86%. The median follow up was 40.7 months (range 0-237.4 months). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the entire cohort was 61.6% ± 3.8% and 37.2% ± 3.9% respectively. Independent predictors of OS included mononuclear cell dose infused, pre- and post-transplant response; and the use of maintenance therapy. Independent predictors of PFS included age at diagnosis, pre- and post-transplant response; and the use of maintenance therapy. In a resource limited setting, ASCT for myeloma is associated with low transplant related mortality. Pre- and post-transplant response and maintenance therapy are predictors of survival.
