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

GVHD remains a serious complication after allogeneic SCT. We describe 13 paediatric patients treated with daclizumab for refractory acute GVHD (aGVHD). After 30 days of daclizumab administration, all patients with cutaneous aGVHD reached complete response. Among patients with gastrointestinal disease, 50 and 30% had complete and partial response, respectively, whereas 11 and 55% of patients with hepatic aGVHD achieved CR and PR, respectively. Overall, complete (46%) and partial (46%) responses were demonstrated in 92% of our patients, whereas the remaining patients (8%) were nonresponders. No life-threatening infectious episodes were recorded within 100 days from transplant in this selected group of paediatric patients. Overall 46% of patients were alive at a median of 461 days from SCT, but 50% of them developed chronic GVHD. In our experience, daclizumab proved to be a useful and safe treatment for refractory and steroid-resistant/dependent aGVHD, in particular for cutaneous and low-moderate intestinal involvement.
