Prognostic effect of body mass index in patients with acute leukemia undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Cell transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for many diseases, but the impact of baseline body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains controversial. To elucidate the influence of pretransplant BMI on post-allo-HSCT outcomes including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM), we conducted a retrospective study using registry data which comprised 1092 adult patients who underwent allo-HSCT between 2015 and 2023. Among the 1092 eligible patients (53.2% male), 56.5% were normal-weight; 24.8% were overweight and 9.1% were obese. Multivariable analyses revealed that compared with normal-weight patients, obese individuals had a higher risk of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD), especially in the gastrointestinal system, with aHRs of 2.08 (95% CI, 1.47-2.94), 2.60 (95% CI, 1.52-4.44), and 3.71 (95% CI, 2.00-6.88), respectively. The probability of OS and RFS was significantly lower in overweight (
