Review in Bone marrow transplantation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05824689 (Exploratory Study of Fluoroquinolone Resistance for Patients Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Engraftment syndrome (ES) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is increasingly diagnosed. Common features include fever, pulmonary vascular leak, rash and organ dysfunction. Different diagnostic criteria likely account for the wide (7-90%) range of reported incidences. ES typically occurs within 4 days of granulocyte recovery although a recently described seemingly similar syndrome occurs >1 week before granulocyte recovery after umbilical cord blood cell transplants. Although the clinical manifestations of ES may be identical to those of acute GVHD, ES also has been well described in patients without acute GVHD. The data are conflicting as to whether ES is associated with a higher nonrelapse mortality and worse survival after HCT. The pathophysiology of ES is unclear, but endothelial injury and activated granulocytes in the setting of proinflammatory cytokines may be important. ES typically is self-limited, but, like acute GVHD, responds to corticosteroids. Because ES and acute GVHD may have overlapping features and response to therapy, these disease processes may often not be distinct events. Moreover, features of ES may overlap with those of drug- and radiation-induced toxicities and infection. Further research to better characterize the clinical spectrum and etiology of ES and to determine its relationship to GVHD is needed.
