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

A recent phase I/II clinical trial drew serious attention to the therapeutic potential of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in multiple sclerosis. However, questions were raised as to whether these beneficial effects should be attributed to the newly reconstituted immune system per se, or to the lymphoablative conditioning regimen-induced immunosuppression, given that T-cell depleting combinational drug therapies were used in the study. We discuss here the possibility that both AHSCT and T-cell depleting therapies may re-program alternatively the immune system, and why transplantation of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells may offer AHSCT a possible advantage regarding long-term remission.
