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

Delayed platelet engraftment is a common complication after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) accompanied by increased transplant-related complications or death. This study was designed to determine the safety and efficacy of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) in promoting platelet engraftment after UCBT. A total of 120 patients scheduled to receive UCBT were randomly assigned to the rhTPO group (300 U/kg once daily from days 14 to 28 after UCBT, n = 60) or the control group (n = 60). The primary outcome was the 60-day cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment after single-unit cord blood transplantation. The 60-day cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment (platelet count ≥20 × 109/L) and the 120-day cumulative incidence of platelet recovery (platelet count ≥50 × 109/L) were both significantly higher in the rhTPO group than in the control group (83.1% vs 66.7%, P = .020; and 81.4% vs 65.0%, P = .032, respectively). In addition, the number of required platelet infusions was significantly lower in the rhTPO group than in the control group (6 vs 8 units, respectively; P = .026). The cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment and the probability of 2-year overall survival, disease-free survival, and graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival did not differ between the 2 groups. Other transplant-related outcomes and complications did not differ between the 2 groups, and no severe adverse effects were observed in patients receiving rhTPO. This study demonstrated that rhTPO is well tolerated in patients and could effectively promote platelet engraftment after UCBT. This study was registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx) as ChiCTR-IPR-16009357.
