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

Only 30% of patients in need of a hematopoietic cell transplant will have an HLA identical sibling to serve as the donor. Advances in the field of immunogenetics together with the growth of donor registries and cord blood banks worldwide have provided many of these patients the opportunity for a life saving transplant. Current data demonstrate the importance of matching the unrelated donor for HLA alleles and antigens. When a matched volunteer donor is not available, use of mismatched donors may be considered. New concepts in the selection of mismatched donors include consideration for the locus, the number of mismatches, differences between alleles and antigens, the location and nature of amino acid mismatches that define class I epitopes, and the presence of haplotype mismatching. When cord blood transplantation is an option, both cell dose and HLA matching are important variables. Optimizing the overall outcome of hematopoietic cell transplantation requires an appreciation for the relative importance of HLA factors with respect to other non-genetic factors that also influence transplant outcome.
