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

BACKGROUND Graft rejection and graft versus host disease (GvHD) have impeded the success of hematopoietic cell transplantation for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients. There is no sufficient data to identify the outcomes of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in SAA patients, especially for adult SAA patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of adult SAA patients undergoing PBSCT with the FCA regimen. The FCA regimen includes fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). MATERIAL AND METHODS We report our experience with 46 adult SAA patients who underwent PBSCT with the FCA regimen. Thirty SAA patients who received only cyclophosphamide and ATG (CA) regimen were used as controls. Complications and survival outcomes were evaluated and compared. RESULTS There was a significantly higher percentage of patients who achieved >95% donor chimerism by day 30 in the FCA group. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate in the FCA group was higher than that in the CA group (95.4% versus 73.3%). In addition, the 5-year rejection rate (RR) in the FCA group was lower than that in the CA group (4.6% versus 23.6%). A multivariable model identified the FCA regimen as an independent factor affecting EFS and RR. However, GvHD and serious infection did not differ between the 2 groups. For patients with an unrelated donor, the FCA regimen had a higher EFS and a lower RR than the CA regimen. CONCLUSIONS The FCA regimen for PBSCT in adult SAA patients compared favorably to the CA regimen. It can improve EFS and reduce graft rejection, especially for unrelated donor PBSCT.
