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

We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of 50 umbilical cord blood transplantations (UCBTs), focusing on chimerism development. Complete donor chimerism (DC) was associated with acute graft-vs.-host disease (aGVHD) grades II-IV for the CD3 (+) cell lineage (p = 0.01) and, in multivariate analysis, with total body irradiation (TBI) for all lineages (p < 0.01). Overall survival (OS) was negatively associated with patient age, (p < 0.001); aGVHD grades III-IV, (p < 0.001); and treatment with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (p = 0.027). In conclusion, though multiple factors may have contributed, the association of TBI and DC might be worthy of consideration in the treatment of patients with malignant disease in the UCBT setting. The negative influence of MSCs on OS may be a reason for more careful usage of this treatment modality in combination with UCBT.
