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

objectiveThis study aimed to reveal whether patients with thalassemia major, who were followed up in our clinic, were given information about hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) preparations, results, and complications. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 190 patients diagnosed with thalassemia major between 1991 and 2019 at the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinics of Istanbul Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Education and Research Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsMedian age of the patients and follow-up time were 9 years (range 1-5) and 42.9 months (range 1-285), respectively. The IVSI-110 was the most frequently (30.4%) encountered mutation; there was no information about HSCT in 28 patients' files, 36 patients had no human leucocyte antigen-matched donors, and 38 patients had undergone HSCT. Pretransplant median ferritin levels in thalassemia major patients who had undergone HSCT and who had not undergone HSCT were 1751 ng/mL (350-4000) and 1300 ng/mL (396-4000) (P = .149), respectively. The median age of HSCT was 6.5 years, and 24 patients were transplanted from human leucocyte antigen-matched sibling donors, 8 from human leucocyte antigen-matched family donors, and 5 patients from human leucocyte antigen-matched unrelated donors with the myeloablative conditioning regimen. Acute and chronic complication rate was higher in patients transplanted from human leucocyte antigen-matched family donors compared to human leucocyte antigen-matched sibling donors (50% vs 28% and 60% vs 8.3%), respectively; complication odd ratio was 6.7 (%95 CI 1.4-32).

conclusionHuman leukocyte antigen typing, donor search, and timely information about HSCT were noted to be performed in two-thirds of the thalassemia major patients, and around half of the patients underwent HSCT. Both acute and chronic complications were significantly higher in patients transplanted from matched unrelated donors.
