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

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the sole curative modality for a variety of malignant and benign hematological disorders. Despite advances in supportive care and transplant conditioning regimens graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infectious complications and end organ toxicity remain the leading causes of transplant related mortality (TRM). Development of safe and effective strategies to mitigate these significant complications associated with HSCT, are urgently needed. Statins are lipid lowering drugs, which reduce cholesterol production by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, with a well defined toxicity profile. Statins have pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects which are relevant in the context of treating and preventing GVHD. In addition to GVHD statins may possess several other effects that might have clinical benefit in the setting of hematopoietic cell transplantation, such as treatment of bronchiolitis obliterans and antineoplastic activity. Herein we review the emerging role of statins in improving the outcomes of patients undergoing HSCT.
