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

BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) remains the most used chemotherapy for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in chemosensitive relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Nevertheless, alternatives have been developed to overcome drugs availability, costs, or potential toxicities. These include BeEAM (substitute carmustine with bendamustine), FEAM (using fotemustine instead of carmustine), TEAM (incorporating thiotepa instead of carmustine) and EAM (without bendamustine, fotemustine, thiotepa or carmustine). We analysed 13207 adults with HL who underwent HSCT in EBMT centers from 2010 to 2022. Chemotherapy was BEAM in 77% (n = 10167), FEAM in 13% (n = 1702), BeEAM in 6% (n = 729), TEAM in 3% (n = 365), and EAM in 2% (n = 244). In multivariable analysis, BeEAM was associated with decreased overall survival (OS) (HR 1.61, p = 0.003) and progression free survival (PFS) (HR 1.48, p < 0.001), higher relapse incidence (RI) (HR 1.43, p < 0.001) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR 1.85, p = 0.04). EAM regimen was also associated with decreased OS (HR 1.55, p = 0.019). Propensity score matching was performed as a sensitivity analysis and confirmed the results of the multivariable analysis. We observed poorer outcomes in patients who received bendamustine in our cohort.
