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

Busulfan's narrow therapeutic index and high pharmacokinetic (PK) variability warrant investigation of its exposure-toxicity relationship. We retrospectively analyzed 334 pediatric and young adult patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at Seoul National University Children's Hospital between 2009 and 2020 and received once-daily intravenous busulfan over four days (3-hour infusion, n = 122; 6-hour infusion, n = 212). Factors associated with toxicities were identified using multivariable logistic regression, and overall survival (OS) was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Despite comparable exposures, the 3-hour infusion group showed higher C
