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

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and CMV reactivation were monitored in a cohort of 72 consecutive haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients using RQ-PCR and antigenaemia assay, respectively. The association between acute GVHD (aGVHD) and HHV-6B/CMV was evaluated. We found that on day 100 the cumulative incidence of grades I-IV aGVHD, grades II-IV aGVHD and grades III-IV aGVHD was 55.6, 27.8 and 13.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that HHV-6B reactivation was closely correlated with a higher probability of grade II-IV aGVHD by day 30 (Hazard ratio (HR), 8.9; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.6-31.0; P=0.0006), by day 50 (HR, 6.1; 95% CI, 2.1-17.8; P=0.0010) and by day 100 (HR, 4.8; 95% CI, 1.7-13.6; P=0.0028). However, CMV reactivation did not significantly affect the development of aGVHD by day 50 (HR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.1-6.7; P=0.8236) and by day 100 (HR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.1-4.4; P=0.5330) after HSCT. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that active HHV-6B infection, but not CMV, is significantly associated with an increased risk of aGVHD development after HSCT.
