Folinic acid after MTX as prophylaxis for GVHD in pediatric bone marrow transplantation.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The effect of folinic acid (FA) on toxicity secondary to the use of methotrexate (MTX) for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has not been determined. We retrospectively analyzed data from 111 patients who received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) in our institution. Fifty patients did not receive FA (non-FA), 37 received FA four times (low dose, LD-FA), and 24 received FA 25 times (high dose, HD-FA) in BMT. No significant differences were observed in the severity of stomatitis after allo-BMT among the three groups while the median of peak value of ALT in HD-FA was significantly lower (P = 0.031). The median time to neutrophil engraftment after allo-BMT in the HD-FA group was significantly shorter than that in the non-FA group (P = 0.034). No significant difference in the median time to neutrophil engraftment was observed between the LD-FA and non-FA groups (P = 0.44). Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the determinants of the shorter duration of neutropenia were transfused total nucleated cell dose (P = 0.001) and the administration of HD-FA (P = 0.036). There was no significant difference in 3-year overall survival among the three groups. Frequent administration of FA may reduce the time to neutrophil engraftment after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
