Changes in the quality of life of adults with sickle cell disease following allogeneic stem cell transplantation: A mixed-methods, prospective cohort study.
Article in HemaSphere, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Advances in conditioning regimens have made non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) a viable curative option for adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, prospective studies comparing pre- and post-transplant patient-reported health outcomes are scarce. Therefore, in a prospective, mixed-methods cohort study in adults with SCD undergoing HSCT, we tested the hypothesis that physical, mental, and social health improves after HSCT relative to baseline. We compared 9 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) measures at 6, 12, and 18 months post-transplant to baseline and general population values. Semi-structured interviews were conducted pre- and post-transplant that were thematically analyzed (MAXQDA). Seventeen patients (7 females, 10 males; median age 26 years) underwent matched sibling (9) or haploidentical donor (8) transplantation. Compared to baseline, pain interference (
