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

backgroundTransplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) syndromes are reported to occur with increased frequency in transplant patients treated with siroliumus combined with a calcineurin inhibitor. We performed a retrospective study of all pediatric transplant patients at City of Hope who were administered combined tacrolimus/sirolimus (TAC/SIR) to determine the occurrence of TMA. PROCEDURE: This analysis includes 41 consecutive patients between the ages of 2 and 20 (median age 9.1) who received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant from any source and also received TAC/SIR for prevention or treatment of GVHD. Of those 41 patients, 20 received TAC/SIR as GVHD prohpylaxis and were designated the preventative group (PG), while 21 received TAC/SIR as treatment for GVHD and were designated the therapy group (TG). TMA occurrence in both groups was documented from day -1 of transplant to day 60 for the PG, and until 30 days after last dose for the TG. TMA was defined according to 2005 consensus criteria.

resultsFive of twenty patients in the PG, and five of twenty one in the TG, experienced TMA, with an overall rate of 23.8% for the population. All ten patients with TMA showed elevated levels of TAC, SIR or both and nine of ten suffered from organ injury due to regimen-related toxicity or GVHD.

conclusionPhysicians should exercise caution in the use of TAC/SIR in pediatric patients due to a high rate of TMA. It is not recommended for heavily pre-treated patients and peak levels of TAC/SIR must be very carefully controlled.
