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 assessed the combination of sirolimus and tacrolimus without methotrexate after myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation from 53 matched related donors (MRDs) and 30 unrelated donors (URDs). All patients received cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation conditioning followed by transplantation of mobilized peripheral blood stem cells. The median time to neutrophil engraftment was 14 days. The median time to platelet engraftment was 12 days. No differences between MRD and URD cohorts was noted. The incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were 20.5% and 4.8%. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 59.1%. There were no differences in acute or chronic GVHD incidence between MRD and URD cohorts. The omission of methotrexate was associated with low transplant-related toxicity, with 30-day and 100-day treatment-related mortality rates of 0% and 4.8%. Relapse-free survival at 1 and 2 years was 72.3% and 68.5%, respectively. Overall survival at 1 and 2 years was 77.1% and 72.2%, respectively. There were no differences in relapse-free or overall survival between MRD and URD cohorts. The substitution of sirolimus for methotrexate as GVHD prophylaxis is associated with rapid engraftment, a low incidence of acute GVHD, minimal transplant-related toxicity, and excellent survival. Differences between MRD and URD cohorts are not evident when effective GVHD prophylaxis is used.
