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.

Abstract

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has become increasingly used as a therapeutic treatment for several pediatric conditions, however the long-term mental health sequelae remain understudied among these survivors. Our objective was to conduct a systematic literature review to determine the association between allo-HSCT and anxiety, depression, and psychological health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in pediatric allo-HSCT recipients compared to survivors of pediatric cancer or healthy children. A literature search of peer-reviewed databases was conducted. Data extraction was conducted using a standardized form. Due to the heterogeneity in studies, populations, and measurement instruments, only a qualitative synthesis was performed. A total of 24 studies met eligibility criteria. Rates of anxiety and depression were higher among survivors of pediatric allo-HSCT compared to population normal values or children treated for health conditions without allo-HSCT. Most allo-HSCT survivors self-reported psychological HRQOL within normal levels, although some studies in leukemia patients identified poorer psychological HRQOL. The presence of multiple chronic health conditions, chronic graft-versus-host-disease, and patient sex were important risk factors for worse mental health. Patients who receive allo-HSCT during childhood experience subsequent anxiety, depression, and poorer psychological HRQOL after transplant and several clinical characteristics contribute to these mental health sequelae.
