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

We looked at treatment rates and center density across countries for patients treated in 2022; 46,143 HCTs (19,011 (41.2%) allogeneic, 27,132 (58.8%) autologous) reported by 689 centers. 4329 patients received advanced cellular therapies, 3205 were CAR-T. We found considerable differences in utilization of autologous, allogeneic HCT and more so for CAR-T. Differences in procedure type and for allogeneic HCT in donor use and disease indication are highlighted. For instance, countries with the highest use of unrelated donors per 10 million inhabitants were Germany (297) and the Netherlands (230), for identical sibling HCT it was Israel (148) and Lebanon (113), for haploidentical it was Israel (94) and Italy (94) and for cord blood it was the Netherlands (24) and the United Kingdom (15). We looked at HCT use for specific indications in allogeneic HCT (AML CR1, MDS, MPN and BMF). We correlated treatment rates with GNI and with demographic age structure and show correlations in HCT and CAR-T use and center density, highest in Italy for allogeneic and autologous HCT and in Switzerland for CAR-T. Resource restricted countries tend to concentrate HCT use in a limited number of centers. These data are useful for comparisons across countries.
