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

Double cord blood transplantation (DCBT) has been used increasingly and has proven to be both safe and efficacious. In chimerism analysis, previous studies have indicated single unit predominance early after DCBT. In the present study, we evaluated the chimeric pattern in T-, B- and myeloid cells using PCR-based chimerism analysis in seven patients after DCBT: five patients had acute leukemia and two had lymphoma. Five patients received myeloablative conditioning and two patients were given reduced intensity conditioning. All patients received anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) before DCBT. Three of the six evaluable patients showed donor-donor mixed chimerism in all cell lineages at 90 days after DCBT. Interestingly, two patients in long-term follow-up showed mixed donor chimerism in all cell lineages at 25 and 35 months after DCBT, respectively. Both patients are doing clinically well. Neither of the two developed GVHD after DCBT. In conclusion, in this study donor-donor mixed chimerism was common after high dose ATG and DCBT. Further studies are warranted concerning the immunological consequences of the phenomenon of donor-donor mixed chimerism after DCBT.
