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

Background: The study aimed to compare the incidence and course of febrile neutropenia (FN) and factors affecting mortality in hematologic patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with either fresh or cryopreserved grafts. Methods: The clinical data of 155 patients who underwent allo-HSCT at our hematology clinic between 2010 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of bloodstream infection (BSI) and FN-related mortality was analyzed in these patients. Factors affecting FN-related mortality were examined using a logistic regression model. Results: A total of 143 patients who developed FN were included in the study. Ninety-eight patients underwent transplantation with fresh stem cells, and 45 patients with cryopreserved stem cells. The duration of FN episodes was similar between groups (p = 0.077); however, the duration of deep neutropenia (neutrophils < 100/mm Conclusions: This study demonstrated that, regardless of graft type, prolonged FN duration and a high HCT-CI score are the primary determinants of mortality. Therefore, clinical management of patients should also address these risk factors.
