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

Infectious complications after high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT) for lymphoma are the leading cause of late non-relapse mortality. Characterizing the risk of infectious complications over time is important for rational follow-up and because alternatives to HDT-ASCT exist for some patients. This national cohort study investigated the risk of severe (defined by requiring hospitalization) late infections after 90 days among HDT-ASCT-treated patients with lymphoma in remission relative to the Danish background population (comparators) matched on age, sex and comorbidity score. Anti-cancer treatment after HDT-ASCT and death were competing events. This study included 781 patients and 3905 comparators. With a median follow-up of 7.7 years for patients, the incidence rate ratios of severe infections from 90 days until 2 years after HDT-ASCT was 8.43 (95% confidence interval (CI): 6.98-10.16) and the 2-year cumulative risk was 23.7% (95% CI: 20.7%-26.7%) for patients and 3.4% (95% CI: 2.9%-4.0%) for comparators. The risk of severe infections remained increased for up to 10 years after HDT-ASCT. Respiratory tract infections were the most frequent type, with a 2-year cumulative risk difference of 10.9% (95% CI: 8.6%-13.3%). Patients were more likely to be prescribed anti-infectives, including broad-spectrum antibiotics 5-10 years after HDT-ASCT.
