Immunohistochemistry of affected tissue may guide cGVHD treatment decisions.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) myositis is a rare complication of hematopoietic SCT, for which the pathogenesis and optimal therapy are unclear. We performed immunohistochemistry on muscle biopsies from pediatric cGVHD myositis and typical cases of autoimmune dermatomyositis and polymyositis. The immunostaining pattern of cGVHD myositis was distinct from that of typical cases of autoimmunity. There was a high proportion of CD20+ and CD68+ cells, and the best therapeutic response was achieved with rituximab (anti-CD20). These results suggest that cGVHD myositis may be mediated by different leukocytes than similar autoimmune diseases and that treatment may be optimized by targeting the specific cellular infiltrates identified in affected tissue.
