Effective prevention of GVHD using in vivo T-cell depletion with anti-lymphocyte globulin in HLA-identical or -mismatched sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
To investigate the impact of anti-lymphocyte globulin (ATG-Fresenius) as part of the HLA-sibling transplantation, we evaluated 238 patients (median age 48 years) with different diagnoses (AML, ALL, CML and lymphoproliferative disorders). A total of 79 patients received ATG and 159 patients did not. In the ATG group, there were more HLA-mismatched donors (6% vs 1%, p=0.02), bad risk patients (70% vs 55%, P=0.04), reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens (65% vs 34%, P=<0.001) and older patients (median age 51 vs 48 years, P=0.002). The median time to leukocyte engraftment was significantly faster in the non-ATG group (13 vs 15 days, P < 0.001). EBV reactivation was more often seen in the ATG group (9% vs 2%, P=0.05). Cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GVHD was less observed in the ATG group (27% vs 40%, P=0.004, and 33% vs 54%, P=0.002). The cumulative incidence rates of non-relapse mortality and of relapse at 5 years were 20 and 34%, respectively, for ATG and 34 and 29%, respectively, for non-ATG (P=0.06 and P=0.3). ATG can prevent GVHD without an obvious risk of relapse but should be confirmed in a randomized study.
