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

Chimerism analysis has become an important tool for the peri-transplant surveillance of engraftment. It offers the possibility to realize imminent graft rejection and it can serve as an indicator for the recurrence of the underlying malignant or non-malignant disease. In addition to this analysis, the characterization of residual disease (MRD) prior to and in the course of follow-up post transplant has become an important prognostic factor to highlight patients at highest risk for relapse. Consecutive post transplant MRD monitoring, together with chimerism analysis, allows the detection of impending relapse in a substantial group of children transplanted for acute leukemia. Consequently, these investigations have become the basis for treatment intervention, for example, to avoid graft rejection, to maintain engraftment and to treat imminent relapse by pre-emptive immunotherapy.
