Alemtuzumab in allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation.
Article in Expert opinion on biological therapy, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionWith the use of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), early toxicity of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) has been much reduced. Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) causes morbidities and mortality. Alemtuzumab is a mAb directed against CD52. When administered prior to transplant, it leads to T-cell depletion. Incorporation of alemtuzumab in RIC results in low rates of GvHD and treatment-related mortality (TRM) in haematological diseases, even in the setting of mismatched-donor transplantation. AREAS COVERED: The use of alemtuzumab for GvHD prophylaxis in SCT. The benefit of alemtuzumab-based conditioning is partially offset by increased disease relapse due to impaired graft-versus-tumor effect (GvT) and by slower immune reconstitution, necessitating special precautions. While GvHD is prevented with alemtuzumab, post-SCT interventions are often required. Most studies find that alemtuzumab-based conditioning results in decreased chronic GvHD and TRM, but also in decreased progression-free survival. Overall survival after 3 - 5 years is usually equivalent and quality of life may be improved because of a lower incidence of sequelae of chronic GvHD. Many aspects of alemtuzumab treatment are under investigation. EXPERT OPINION: Alemtuzumab reduces GvHD and TRM after SCT. Use of alemtuzumab requires awareness and strict management of the risk of opportunistic infections and of an increased risk of disease recurrence.
