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

The prevailing corona virus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected the healthcare services globally. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is considered as the preferred treatment option for several hematological malignancies, and HPC collection facilities have to function continuously along with implementing safety measures. Based on the national and international guidelines, we implemented additional measures and modifications to our standard operating procedure (SOP) to ensure secure HPC collection from patients as well as donors. Here, we report our experience with HPC collection and processing from 1st January, 2020 until 31st December, 2020. We collected 59 HPC products through apheresis and 41 cryopreservation procedures. Compared to 2019, there was a 33% decrease in the number of HPC transplants and 31% reduction in HPC collection procedures. However, we report an 86% (13 procedures) increase in the cryopreservation of HPC products from related donors, as several organizations recommend cryopreservation of HPC products. We report our institutional experience to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on HCT services in a tertiary care center in the developing world. It may also help in being prepared for any future waves of COVID-19 cases.
