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

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the most common cause of nonrelapse mortality and morbidity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The well-documented involvement of heparanase in the process of inflammation and autoimmunity led us to investigate an association between HPSE gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of GVHD. The present study indicates a highly significant correlation of HPSE gene SNPs rs4693608 and rs4364254 and their combination with the risk of developing acute GVHD. Moreover, the study revealed that discrepancy between recipient and donor in these SNPs may elevate significantly the risk of acute GVHD. This association was statistically significant when the recipients possessed genotype combinations dictating higher levels of heparanase compared with their human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donors. In addition, HPSE gene SNPs disclosed a correlation with extensive chronic GVHD, nonrelapse mortality, and overall survival. Our study indicates involvement of heparanase in the development of acute and extensive chronic GVHD. Moreover, it suggests a possible mechanism for the aggressive behavior of T lymphocytes leading to GVHD when the recipients possess genotype combinations that dictate high levels of heparanase mRNA compared with their HLA-matched donors expressing low levels of heparanase.
