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
Success of allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is hampered by susceptibility to infection during the first two post-treatment years. Further, in treating malignant diseases, impaired anti-host reactivity for donor cells may contribute to a high rate of relapse. Both complications are a consequence of immune deficiency involving B and T lymphocytes. The present study evaluates several key parameters of the immunologic reconstitution mechanism in mice subjected to myeloablative total body irradiation following semi-allogeneic (parental) BMT. This resulted in a gradual reduction of splenic CD3, CD4 and CD8 cells until day 45 post-BMT. Concomitantly, there was an increase in monocytes and CD4+/CD8+ (double positive) cells, accompanied by a persistent elevation in the percentage of B lymphocytes. The total thymic and splenic T cell populations were reduced until day +30. The cellular reduction correlated with the poor proliferative response of the thymic and splenic cells. A decrease occurred in IL-2 mRNA expression in thymic cells during days 15-20 post-transplant, corresponding with the low level of IL-2 secretion in the spleen and thymus of the transplanted mice. In conclusion, following semi-allogeneic BMT, there was an overall immune down-regulation in the cells, gene and protein levels. Reduced immunological responsiveness following BMT reinforces the need for improving the immune dysfunction by immunotherapy post-BMT.
