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

Whether patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can predict overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) among recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), is unclear. We performed an exploratory analysis of the prognostic value of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) among 117 recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) who participated in a randomized nutrition intervention trial. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate possible associations between PROs collected pre-allo-HSCT (baseline) using scores from the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and 1-year overall survival (OS), whereas logistic regression was used to study associations between these PROs and 1-year non-relapse mortality (NRM). Multivariable analyses indicated that only the Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) and the European Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) risk score were associated with 1-year OS. In the multivariable model including clinical-sociodemographic factors for 1-year NRM, our analysis showed that living alone (p=0.009), HCT-CI (p=0.016), EBMT risk score (p=0.002), and stem cell source (p=0.046) could be associated with 1-year NRM. Moreover, in the multivariable model, our analysis showed that only appetite loss from the QLQ-C30 was associated with 1-year NRM (p=0.026). In conclusion, in this specific setting, our analysis suggests that the commonly used HCT-CI and EBMT risk scores could be predictive for both 1-year OS and 1-year NRM, whereas baseline PROs in general were not.
