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

The MHC region on chromosome 6 contains a large number of non-HLA genes next to the HLA genes. Matching for HLA in unrelated hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) does not necessarily mean that these non-HLA genes are also matched. We selected 348 Northwest European patients transplanted with an HLA-A-, -B-, -C-, -DRB1-, -DQB1-matched unrelated donor (MUD) between 1987 and 2008. Patients' haplotypes were identified via descend. We were unable to determine the haplotypes of the donor; therefore we used frequent haplotypes (FH) in high linkage disequilibrium (LD) as a proxy for haplotype matching. Presence of a FH in a patient positively affected the probability and speed of identifying a matched unrelated donor. Competing risk survival analysis showed that patients with one or two FH have a statistically significantly decreased probability of developing ≥ grade II acute GVDH (aGVHD) without increased risk of relapse compared to patients without FH (HR (95% CI): 0.53 (0.31-0.91)). This association was strongest for those FH with the highest LD between both HLA-A and -C or -B, and HLA-C or -B and -DRB1 (HR (95% CI): 0.49 (0.26-0.92)). These results extend evidence that non-HLA allele coding regions have a significant impact on development of ≥ grade II aGVHD. We conclude that there is more to successful HSCT than matching for HLA genes.
