Autologous stem cell transplant program in 2016-country report from Bangladesh.
Article in Blood cell therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We are describing eleven autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplants (ASCT) that were performed in 2016 at three different transplant centers in Bangladesh. Indications for those patients were multiple myeloma (MM) (n=4), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n=2), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HD) (n=2), peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) (n=1), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (n=1), and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) (n=1). All autologous stem cell products were cryo-preserved and transfused back to patients freshly thawed at 37℃. All were in second remission (CR2) except for the PTCL patient, who was in first remission (CR1). The bone marrow transplant (BMT) program was first initiated in Bangladesh in March 2014 at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), the country's largest and the leading government-run public hospital, in collaboration with the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, USA. Subsequently, two more centers, Apollo Hospitals Dhaka and the Combined Military Hospital (CMH), started transplant programs in 2016. Seven out of eleven ASCT were performed at the DMCH center, with two at Apollo Hospitals and two at CMH Dhaka. The median age for all patients was 39 (range 18-67) and the Male: Female ratio was 9: 2. The average time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment was day 9 (range 8-12) and day 12 (range 9-15), respectively. Major early complications were neutropenic fever, mucositis, and infection. There was no transplant related mortality (TRM) within the first 100 days. Over a median follow up of 2 years, overall survival is 82.0% and progression free survival is 63.6%.
