Referral to and receipt of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in older adults with acute myeloid leukemia.

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.
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
introductionRecent data have shown improved outcomes in selected older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Nonetheless, practice patterns for referring and performing HSCT vary. We aimed to evaluate referral, utilization, and reasons for not referring/proceeding to HSCT in older adults with AML. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a single center retrospective analysis of patients aged ≥60 years diagnosed with AML evaluating rates of HSCT referral and utilization. Fisher's exact test was used to compare rates of referral and utilization across age groups and years of diagnosis.
resultsMedian age of the 97 patients was 70 years (range 61-95); 30% (29/97) were referred for HSCT and of these, 69% (20/29) received HSCT. Common documented reasons (can be multiple) for not referring were performance status (n = 21), advanced age (n = 16), patient refusal (n = 15), refractory disease (n = 14), and prohibitive comorbidity (n = 6). Among patients who were referred but did not receive HSCT (n = 9/29), documented reasons for not proceeding with HSCT were refractory disease (n = 5), advanced age (n = 2), and prohibitive comorbidity (n = 2). HSCT referral and utilization rates significantly decreased with age (p < 0.01) but were generally stable over time from 2014 to 2017 (p = 0.40 for referral and p = 0.56 for utilization). DISCUSSION: Despite improvements in supportive care and HSCT techniques, HSCT referral and utilization rates remained low among older adults with AML but stable over time.
