Nutritional status impact on engraftment time in hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) in Semarang, Indonesia: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Caspian journal of internal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Nutritional support is a critical consideration in the care of individuals undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), given the metabolic alterations induced by intensive treatments. This study aimed to explore the correlation between nutritional status and the time to engraftment in HSCT patients at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia. Methods: This study included adult patients with malignant diseases who underwent autologous or allogeneic HSCT at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital between 2013 and 2023. Nutritional status was evaluated using body mass index (BMI), energy intake, and the type and duration of nutritional support. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment were defined as the time to sustained absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥500 cells/mm³ and platelet count ≥20 × 10⁹/L, respectively, and correlations between numerical variables were analyzed using Pearson's test. Results: A total of 45 HSCT patients were involved in this study. There was a significant negative correlation between nutritional intake and neutrophil engraftment (r = -0.776, p <0.001) and platelet engraftment (r= -0.72, P = 0.00), indicating that as the engraftment time increased, nutritional intake decreased. Furthermore, a positive but weak correlation (r = 0.24, P = 0.10) was found between BMI and time to engraftment. Conclusion: The study highlights that nutritional status significantly influences engraftment time in HSCT patients, supporting the importance of comprehensive nutritional support to improve outcomes and shorten engraftment.
