Tacrolimus and mycofenolate mofetil as GvHD prophylaxis following nonmyeloablative conditioning and unrelated hematopoietic SCT for adult patients with advanced hematologic diseases.

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.
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
In the current study, we evaluated a combination of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as GvHD prophylaxis in 50 patients undergoing truly nonmyeloablative (NM; 90 mg/m(2) fludarabine, 2 Gy TBI) hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) from unrelated donors. Median patient age was 51 years (range, 25-67 years). After a median follow-up of 1123 days (range, 47-2729 days), 20 patients (40%) are alive and free from disease. The probabilities of 1-, 2- and 3-year survival were 57, 47 and 39%, respectively. Patients who achieved a remission before HSCT had a significantly better OS compared with those who had active disease (P=0.01). The incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GvHD (aGvHD) were 54% (n=27) and 16% (n=8). Remarkably, using tacrolimus and MMF, the median onset of aGvHD occurred distinctly late on day +66 (range, 12-119 days). A total of 46 patients were evaluable for chronic GvHD (cGvHD). Out of these, 26 (56%) patients developed cGvHD, with 16 (34%) of them showing limited and 10 (21%) showing extensive disease. We conclude that the combination of tacrolimus and MMF as post transplant immunosuppression for patients receiving NM unrelated donor HSCT permits stable engraftment and effective prophylaxis for acute and cGvHD. In particular, the occurrence of severe early-onset aGvHD was attenuated.
