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

This study aimed to investigate the recovery of physical function, muscle mass, and quality of life (QOL) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) patients 1 year after the procedure. A total of 71 patients who underwent allo-HSCT at our institution between February 2010 and June 2020, for whom a physical therapy assessment could be performed before allo-HSCT, at discharge, and 1 year after the procedure, were included. Exercise therapy during hospitalization was provided individually by a physical therapist, and exercise was self-administered after discharge. One year after allo-HSCT, handgrip strength and results of the 6-minute walk test recovered to pre-HSCT levels. However, muscle mass 1 year after allo-HSCT did not reach the pre-HSCT level. All subscales of QOL, 1 year after allo-HSCT, recovered to pre-HSCT levels, but only two of the eight subscales recovered to the national standard of 50. Multivariate analysis revealed factors associated with the recovery of physical function, muscle mass, and QOL, hemoglobin levels and albumin levels, especially among men. In contrast, factors that negatively affected recovery were age, acute graft-versus-host disease, and pre-HSCT intensity conditioning. The results suggest a potential recovery in handgrip strength, endurance, and QOL 1 year after allo-HSCT.
