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

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an increasingly widely used treatment modality in hematological malignancies. Alloreactivity mediated by donor T cells (and, in some settings, by donor natural killer cells) can produce durable immunologic control or eradication of residual malignancy after allogeneic HCT. However, graft-vs.-tumor (GVT) effects are variably effective and are often accompanied by deleterious alloreactivity against normal host tissue, manifesting as graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD). A major focus of current research in HCT is the separation of beneficial GVT effects from GVHD. Here we review a number of approaches currently under investigation to specifically augment GVT effects, including the identification of minor histocompatibility antigens (mHA), adoptive immunotherapy with tumor-specific or mHA-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, vaccination of the donor or recipient to stimulate tumor-specific immunity, and adoptive transfer of natural killer cells. In addition, we review strategies being investigated to specifically suppress GVHD while sparing GVT, including the manipulation and infusion of regulatory T cells, the use of novel pharmacologic and biologic agents, and the use of mesenchymal stem cells. Ultimately, advances in separation of GVT from GVHD will further enhance the potential of allogeneic HCT as a curative treatment for hematological malignancies.
