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

Central nervous system (CNS) complications have been described in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is included in the diagnostic workup in patients with neurological symptoms after alloHCT. CSF donor-recipient chimerism analysis usually is not used to evaluate patients with neurological complications after alloHCT. To assess the potential contribution of CSF donor-recipient chimerism in patients with neurological complications, we analyzed 85 CSF samples from 50 patients with neurological complications after alloHCT. After alloHCT, 21 patients showed the presence of recipient-derived DNA. In 13 of these patients, recurrence of the underlying disease was detected in CSF. There was a moderate correlation between the recipient DNA percentage as detected by short tandem repeat (STR) amplification and the cell concentration in CSF (Spearmann r: 0.66 P=0.004). The percentage of cells with immunophenotypic abnormalities from patients relapsing in the CNS detected by flow cytometry showed a strong correlation with the percentage of recipient-derived DNA in CSF assessed by STR analysis (Spearmann r: 0.83 P=0.0008). Donor-recipient chimerism analysis in CSF in patients with neurological symptoms after alloHCT is a practical, feasible and useful complementary method to the already established methodologies included in the diagnostic workup.
