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

backgroundUntil now, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only effective method to cure Thalassemia major. However, it has not been determined whether similar results can be obtained with the same conditioning regimen for both fully-matched and mismatched donors grafts. We hypothesized that using modified NF-08-TM conditioning regimen could achieve similar results for both fully and mismatched donors grafts.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients with β-thalassemia major who underwent HSCT with modified NF-08-TM conditioning regimen at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Centre between January 2013 and January 2019.

resultsAmong the 257 patients (172 males) included in this study, 3 had two transplantations. Totally 193 and 67 had fully-matched and mismatched donors were examined, respectively. The median follow-up was 29 months; 6-year overall survival (OS), thalassemia-free survival (TFS), graft rejection (GR) and transplantation-related mortality (TRM) were 92.08%, 90.89%, 1.24% and 8.01%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatibility between patient and donor was not independently associated with OS, TFS, GR or TRM. Mismatched donor graft transplantation for β-thalassemia major is associated with similar survival outcomes and incidences of complications (except for acute GVHD) to fully-matched donor graft transplantation based on modified NF-08-TM conditioning regimen.

conclusionsIn conclusion, based on the modified NF-08-TM regimen, certain mismatched donor transplantations for thalassemia major patients could achieve similar results as fully-matched donor transplantations.
