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

Hematologic malignances are more common and often higher risk in older patients. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) best enables long-term disease control for patients with poor risk or relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, or myelofibrosis. Rates of alloHCT among older patients, while still relatively low compared with younger patients, have risen sharply over the past decade. Accumulating evidence supports alloHCT for patients ≥60 years of age relative to non-HCT therapies based on improved overall and disease-free survival. However, a significant proportion of older adults have limitations characterized by geriatric assessment. A systematic process to evaluate and optimize older patients may improve decision making, transplant outcomes, and alloHCT access. We present case-based studies to illustrate a stepwise and rational approach to proper older patient evaluation, pretransplant optimization, and posttransplant care with attention to important geriatric issues and quality of life.
