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 hematopoietic comorbidity risk index (HCT-CI) is a pre-transplant risk assessment tool used to qualify comorbidities to predict non-relapse mortality (NRM) of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). HSCT procedures continue to improve. Therefore, the predictive value of HCT-CI needs to be re-evaluated. Our study is a retrospective analysis of pre-existing comorbidities assessing the relevance of the HCT-CI on the outcome of consecutive patients (n = 1102) undergoing allo-HSCT from 2006-2021. HCT-CI was classified as low (HCT-CI 0), intermediate (HCT-CI 1-2) and high-risk (HCT-CI ≥ 3). At 10 years, NRM for low, intermediate, and high-risk HCT-CI group was 21.0%, 26.0%, and 25.8% (p = 0.04). NRM difference was significant between low to intermediate (p < 0.001), but not between intermediate to high-risk HCT-CI (p = 0.22). Overall survival (OS) at 10 years differed significantly with 49.9%, 39.8%, and 31.1%, respectively (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis of HCT-CI organ subgroups, cardiac disease was most strongly associated with NRM (HR = 1.73, p = 0.02) and OS (HR = 1.77, p < 0.001). All other individual organ comorbidities influenced NRM to a lesser extent. Further, donor (HR = 2.20, p < 0.001 for unrelated and HR = 2.17, p = 0.004 for mismatched related donor), disease status (HR = 1.41, p = 0.03 for advanced disease) and previous HSCT (HR = 1.55, p = 0.009) were associated with NRM. Improvement in transplant techniques and supportive care may have improved outcome with respect to comorbidities.
