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

Umbilical cord blood transplant continues to increase in prevalence as a treatment option for various hematopoietic and immune disorders. Because of the limited number of cells available in a single cord blood unit, investigators have explored methods of increasing cell dose before transplant, including overexpression of the homeobox B4 (HOXB4) transcription factor. We have previously reported the development of leukemia in several nonhuman primate (NHP) subjects transplanted with HOXB4-expanded bone marrow cells at approximately 2 years posttransplant. Here, we provide long-term data for a NHP receiving a HOXB4-expanded cord blood graft. Longitudinal follow-up included gene marking analysis, complete blood counts, morphologic/pathologic assessment, phenotypic analysis of subsets, and retroviral integration site analysis. In each of these independent assays, we saw no indication of clonal dominance, and all signs pointed toward normal, healthy hematopoiesis. Furthermore, in-depth clonal analysis of an animal that developed leukemia after transplantation of HOXB4-modified bone marrow cells showed that dominant clones could be detected as early as 6 months posttransplant using the genomic analysis technique detailed here. Parallel analysis of the cord blood transplant macaque showed no such sites. These findings demonstrate the ability to study the use of gene-modified and expanded cord blood cells in a NHP model.
