Review in Bone marrow transplantation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Immune deficiency following hematopoietic cell transplantation predisposes the patient to potentially deadly infections. Vaccinations can improve immunity and thus reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with these infections. Over the years different sets of guidelines have been published the most recent by the Infectious Diseases Society of American (IDSA). There is limited evidence that vaccination of donors and/or recipients before transplantation may improve immunity. However, despite the possibility of augmented immunity, there remain logistical, ethical and medical concerns about such a vaccination strategy.
