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

backgroundHematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only curative therapy for pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in all but rare cases. While HCT outcomes for pediatric MDS are similar across the largest registry and single-center trials, factors identified as contributing to inferior outcomes vary from study to study. We performed an analysis to provide more clarity on the prognostic implications of disease characteristics, including blast burden and cytogenetic abnormalities, in the current era.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 36 consecutive children (<18 years of age at HCT) who underwent allogeneic HCT for MDS between June 2000 and October 2019 at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

resultsOverall survival (OS) was 77% (95% CI 64-92%) and relapse-free survival (RFS) was 71% (95% CI 57-88%) at 2 years post-HCT. Patients with <5% blasts by morphology in the bone marrow at the time of HCT showed superior 2-year OS at 87% (95% CI 74-100%) as compared to 54% (95% CI 32-93%) in patients with ≥5% blasts, consistent with an HR of 4.6 (CI 1.14-18.7,

conclusionsOS and RFS were comparable to what has been observed in other large, single-center studies (OS 77%, RFS 71% at 2 years) and compared favorably to outcomes from the largest multi-center retrospective analyses.
