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

We have investigated the immune status of patients with hematologic malignancies treated with a low intensity conditioning in preparation for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Conditioning consisted of fludarabine, anti-T lymphocyte globulin and low-dose busulfan, followed by infusion of allogeneic blood stem cells. This protocol resulted in rapid engraftment and complete replacement of host with donor hematopoietic cells. Immunological parameters of these patients were compared to those patients who were conditioned by an aggressive myeloablative regimen. Distribution of cell surface markers of lymphocyte subsets from both groups of patients was similar, but different from that of normal control cells. Reduced intensity or non-myeloablative conditioning prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (NST), hardly lowered the normal T cell-dependent mitogenic response even during the early period following transplant, while the myeloablative treatments resulted in a suppressed mitogenic reaction and in slow immune recovery. Reactivity of non-MHC restricted cytotoxic T cells was also at a normal level in patients who were treated with NST. We conclude that stem cell engraftment following reduced conditioning may result in early reconstitution of immune responses assessed in vitro. We hypothesize that clinical application of NST may lead to faster development of effective immune responses against residual host-type malignant and abnormal non-malignant hematopoietic cells, although the role of fludarabine on post-transplant infections remains to be investigated in a larger cohort of patients.
