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

backgroundAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was not actively performed in elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome patients who are at a high-risk based on hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI). The advent of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens has made HSCT applicable in this population. However, the selection of appropriate conditioning is a major concern for the attending physician. The benefits of combination of treosulfan and fludarabine (Treo/Flu) have been confirmed through many clinical studies. Korean data on treosulfan-based conditioning regimen are scarce.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted to compare the clinical outcomes of allogeneic HSCT using RIC between 13 patients receiving Treo/Flu and 39 receiving busulfan/fludarabine (Bu/Flu).

resultsIn terms of conditioning-related complications, the frequency of ≥ grade 2 nausea or vomiting was significantly lower and the duration of symptoms was shorter in the Treo/Flu group than in the Bu/Flu group. The incidence of ≥ grade 2 mucositis tended to be lower in the Treo/Flu group. In the analysis of transplant outcomes, all events of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and ≥ grade 2 acute GVHD occurred more frequently in the Treo/Flu group. The frequency of Epstein-Barr virus reactivation was significantly higher in the Treo/Flu group (53.8% vs. 23.1%,

conclusionThis study suggests that Treo/Flu conditioning may be an alternative to Bu/Flu regimen in elderly patients with high-risk who are not suitable for standard conditioning.
