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
introductionThe Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) 1102 trial demonstrated that allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) was associated with superior overall survival compared to non-HCT approaches among elderly patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The trial included an ancillary cost diary component to assess the out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures and financial hardship in the post-HCT period through 3 phased surveys for up to 19 months after enrollment.
objectiveThe purpose of the study is to assess the OOP costs and financial hardship experienced by participants of BMT CTN 1102. STUDY
designBMT CTN 1102 assigned participants to Donor and No-Donor arms based on donor availability. Participants could additionally enroll in the ancillary cost diary component, with a total of 138 participants returning 267 surveys across 3 survey waves at 1-, 7-, and 19-months after enrollment. As participants who underwent HCT returned 78% (207/267) of the total surveys, we report on the collected data descriptively.
resultsParticipants who underwent HCT had high levels of monthly OOP expenditure ($1126, $812, $442) and financial hardship (47%, 53%, 57%) across the 3 survey waves. For reference, participants who did not undergo HCT generally reported lower levels of OOP expenditure ($478, $845, $256) and financial hardship (37%, 55%, 46%).
conclusionAmong BMT CTN 1102 participants, those who underwent HCT reported high levels of OOP expenditures and financial hardship for up to 19 months after enrollment. Ongoing routine assessment of patient-level OOP expenditures and financial burden may be helpful in the post-HCT survivorship period.
