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

After allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (alloHSCT), immunosuppressed patients are susceptible to opportunistic infections, and uncontrolled function of the graft can result in GVHD. Accurate immune monitoring may help early detection and treatment of these severe complications. Between October 2005 and November 2007, a total of 170 blood samples were collected from 40 patients after alloHSCT in the Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center and from 13 healthy controls. We utilized the Cylex ImmuKnow assay for CD4 ATP levels to compare known clinically immunocompromised vs immunocompetent patients after alloHSCT. We also compared the reconstitution of WBC count to the ImmuKnow results and clinical status. The patients' clinical course correlated with the stratification of immune response established by the ImmuKnow assay for solid organ transplantation (immunocompetent vs immunocompromised), and this often differed from their WBC count. On the basis of our observations, we conclude that the ImmuKnow assay is a simple and fast immune-monitoring technique for patients undergoing alloHSCT, with potential to predict clinical course and facilitate prompt management of post-HSCT complications. The assay should be evaluated prospectively in clinical trials.
