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

Busulphan (Bu) is used as a part of the conditioning regimen prior to HSCT. Neurotoxicity is one of Bu major adverse-effects. We investigated the kinetics of busulphan and its metabolites (tetrahydothiophene, tetrahydrothiophene-1-oxide, sulfolane, 3-OH-sulfolane) in patients and mice as well as the mechanisms underlying CNS-toxicity in mice. Busulphan metabolites were detectable in plasma and urine up to 72-h after the last Bu-dose. Sulfolane levels were high and reached maximum concentration at the time-point reported for the convulsions' occurrence. Mice were treated with either busulphan or one of its metabolites, separately. Sulfolane treated-mice showed the highest brain exposure (AUC
