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
purposePhysical function frequently declines after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the influence of disease status and general condition at the time of transplantation on longitudinal functional changes remains unclear.
methodsThis retrospective study included 135 adult patients with hematological malignancies who underwent their first allo-HSCT and completed physical function assessments before transplantation and at discharge. Handgrip strength and 6-min walk distance (6MWD) were evaluated. Patients were stratified according to disease status (complete remission [CR] vs. non-CR) and general condition (performance status [PS]).
resultsBoth handgrip strength and 6MWD decreased significantly after transplantation in all groups. No significant differences in functional changes were observed between the CR and non-CR groups. In contrast, patients with poor PS at transplantation tended to show a greater decline in 6MWD than those with good PS. Multiple regression analysis identified PS at transplantation, age, sex, and change in the hemoglobin level as significant factors associated with changes in 6MWD.
conclusionPre-transplant PS was associated with a greater post-transplant decline in endurance capacity, regardless of disease status. PS may serve as a practical clinical indicator for identifying patients at higher risk of physical function deterioration and guiding early targeted rehabilitation interventions.
