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

We retrospectively analyzed outcomes among 1206 patients with hematologic malignancies who had hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from HLA-identical siblings (n = 630) or HLA-matched unrelated donors (n = 576) at a single institution between 2001 and 2007 for a correlation between recipient statin use and risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Among recipients with cyclosporine-based postgrafting immunosuppression (n = 821), statin use at the time of transplant (6%) was associated with a decreased risk of extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) (multivariate hazard ratio [HR], 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.4-1.0; P = .05) and an increased risk of recurrent malignancy (HR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.0-3.0; P = .04). Recipient statin use, however, had no apparent impact on the risks of cGVHD and recurrent malignancy among recipients given tacrolimus-based immunosuppression (n = 385; 8% statin treated). Risks of acute GVHD, nonrelapse mortality, and overall mortality were not significantly affected by recipient statin use. Hence, recipient statin treatment at the time of allogeneic HCT may decrease the risk of cGVHD in patients with cyclosporine-based immunosuppression, but at the expense of a compromised graft-versus-tumor effect.
