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

Since the first successful clinical use of umbilical cord blood (UCB) in 1988, UCB grafts have been used for over 20,000 patients with both malignant and non-malignant diseases. UCB has several practical advantages over other transplantable graft sources. For example, the ease of procurement, the absence of donor risks, the reduced risk of transmissible infections, and the availability for immediate use make UCB an appealing graft choice. However, UCB grafts suffer from a few limitations related to the limited cell dose available for transplantation in each UCB unit and to defects in UCB stem cell homing. These limitations lead to increased post-transplant complications. In this review, we focus on the issue of limited cell dose in UCB units and discuss the possible approaches to overcome this limitation. We also summarize the various cellular pathways that have been explored to expand UCB units.
