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

backgroundA comprehensive assessment of morbidity after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) performed in childhood remains understudied.

methodsSeven hundred eighty-nine allogeneic BMT recipients who had survived ≥2 years after BMT performed between 1974 and 2014 at age <22 years and 690 siblings completed a 255-item survey self-reporting sociodemographics and chronic health conditions. A severity score (grade 3 [severe], 4 [life-threatening], or 5 [fatal]) was assigned to the conditions using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0. For the BMT cohort, the cumulative incidence of chronic health conditions was calculated as a function of time from BMT. Proportional subdistribution hazards models were used to determine predictors of grade 3-5 conditions. Logistic regression was used to estimate the risk of grade 3-4 conditions in BMT recipients who were alive at the time of this study compared with siblings.

resultsThe median age at transplantation was 11.3 years (range, 0.4-22.0 years), and the median length of follow-up was 11.7 years (range, 2.0-45.3 years). The most prevalent primary diagnoses were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (30.7%), and acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (26.9%). At age 35 years, the cumulative incidence of a grade 3-4 condition was 53.8% (95% CI, 46.7%-60.3%). The adjusted odds ratio of a grade 3-4 condition was 15.1 in survivors (95% CI, 9.5-24.0) compared with siblings. The risk of a grade 3-5 condition increased with age at BMT (hazard ratio [HR], 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05) and was higher among females (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02-1.59), patients who received total body irradiation (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.27-2.31), and those reporting chronic graft-versus-host disease (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.09-1.74).

conclusionsTwo-year survivors of allogeneic BMT in childhood have an increased risk of grade 3-4 chronic health conditions compared with siblings, suggesting the need for long-term follow-up.
