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

backgroundDespite advancements in comprehension of molecular mechanisms governing bone marrow (BM) homing of hematopoietic stem cells, cord blood transplant (CBT) suffers from a slow rate of hematopoietic recovery. Intrabone (i.b.) injection has been proposed as a method able to improve speed of BM engraftment with respect to conventional i.v. protocols. However, the mechanisms underlying this benefit are largely unknown.

aimTo verify whether i.b.-CBT determines a local engraftment able to predict the reconstitution of recipient hematopoiesis. DESIGN AND

methodsTwenty-one patients with hematologic malignancies received i.b. injection into both iliac crests of 3.2 ± 0.68 ∗ 107/kg cord blood cells. One month following i.b.-CBT, PET-CT imaging was performed. Maximal standardized uptake values (SUVs) were assessed in BM of both iliac crests and in all lumbar vertebrae.

resultsMaximal SUV within iliac crests was higher than in lumbar vertebrae (4.1 ± 1.7 versus 3.2 ± 0.7, resp., P = 0.01). However, metabolic activity in these two different BM districts was significantly correlated (r = 0.7, P < 0.001). Moreover, FDG uptake values within the injection site closely predicted platelet recovery 100 days after i.b.-CBT (r = 0.72, P < 0.01).

conclusionsThe metabolic activity of injected BM predicts the subsequent rate of hematopoietic recovery after i.b.-CBT, suggesting a pivotal role of the local engraftment in the reconstitution of recipient hematopoiesis.
