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

purposeThis retrospective analysis aims to address the toxicity and efficacy of a modified total nodal irradiation (TNI)-based conditioning regimen before haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatient data including long-term follow-up were evaluated of 7 pediatric patients with malignant (n = 2) and non-malignant diseases (n = 5) who were treated by a primary TNI-based conditioning regimen. TNI was performed using anterior/posterior opposing fields. All patients received 7 Gy single-dose TNI combined with systemic agents followed by an infusion of peripheral blood stem cells (n = 7). All children had haploidentical family donors.

resultsEngraftment was reached in 6/7 children after a median time of 9.5 days; 1 child had primary graft failure but was successfully reconditioned shortly thereafter. After an average follow-up time of 103.5 months (range 8.8-138.5 months), event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 71.4% and 85.7%, respectively. One child with a non-malignant disease died 8.8 months after transplantation due to a relapse and a multiple organ failure. Follow-up data was available for 5/6 long-term survivors with a median follow-up (FU) of 106.2 months (range 54.5-138.5 months). Hypothyroidism and deficiency of sexual hormones was present in 3/5 patients each. Mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) after TNI was 71%; mean vital capacity (VC) was 78%. Growth failure (< 10th percentile) occurred in 2/5 patients (height) and 1/5 patient (weight). No secondary malignancies were reported.

conclusionIn this group of patients, a primary single-dose 7 Gy TNI-based conditioning regimen before HCT in pediatric patients allowed sustained engraftment combined with a tolerable toxicity profile leading to long-term OS/EFS. Late toxicity after a median FU of over 9 years includes growth failure, manageable hormonal deficiencies, and acceptable decrease in lung function.
