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

objectivesCerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD) is an inflammatory demyelination of the brain that can lead to death unless treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Survival and improved outcomes for cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy are associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at earliest evidence of disease on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our goal was to determine average duration between diagnosis of cALD and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

methodsThis was a retrospective review of data of patients aged 18 years or younger, using a nationwide administrative health care database (Pediatric Health Information System), with an

resultsWe identified 27 patients with cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy. Total charges for the cohort was $53 million. Time to transplant averaged 97 days. For Hispanic patients, time to transplant was 117 days, compared with 80 days for White, non-Hispanic patients. Comparison of different hospitals showed significant variability in time to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. DISCUSSION: We found that time to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was >3 months for patients with cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy in the hospitals we evaluated. We noted differences in average time by race/ethnicity and by hospital. Our findings suggest opportunity to reduce time to transplant in cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy.
