Clinical characteristics of chronic graft-versus-host disease following umbilical cord blood transplantation for adults.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Chronic GVHD is a significant complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; however, the clinical characteristics of chronic GVHD following cord blood transplantation (CBT) in adults have not been well described. Between March 2001 and November 2005, a total of 77 patients underwent CBT at eight transplantation centers of the Nagoya Blood and Marrow Transplantation Group. Of 77 patients, 29 survived without graft failure or progression of underlying diseases for at least 100 days after transplantation. The median age of the 29 patients was 42 years (range, 18-67 years). Seven patients developed chronic GVHD (extensive, n=4; limited, n=3) disease. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD 1 year after day 100 was 24% (95% confidence interval (CI), 11-41%), and the organs involved were the skin (n=6), oral cavity (n=4), liver (n=1) and gastrointestinal tract (n=1). In three patients, chronic GVHD was resolved with supportive care. The remaining four were successfully treated with additional immunosuppressive therapy. Event-free survival rates of the 29 patients with and without chronic GVHD 3 years after day 100 were 83 (95% CI, 27-97%) and 36% (95% CI, 17-56%), respectively (P=0.047). These results suggest that chronic GVHD following CBT is mild and has a graft-versus-malignancy effect.
