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

Predicted indirectly recognizable HLA epitopes (PIRCHE) computationally predict donor T-cell recognition of mismatched-HLA derived peptides following allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), as is evidenced by the correlation between presence of HLA-DPB1-derived PIRCHE and the occurrence of graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD). Complete donor T-cell chimerism associates with an increased GVHD risk compared to mixed patient and donor chimerism. If the correlation between the presence of PIRCHE and GVHD occurrence is indeed mediated by donor T cells, the presence of donor T cells should be required to observe such a correlation. This study was initiated to investigate whether the effect of PIRCHE is different in patients with complete chimerism compared to those with mixed chimerism. Indeed, the correlation between PIRCHE and GVHD is present in patients with complete chimerism, whereas it is absent in those with mixed chimerism. The data presented here suggest that chimerism status is important for the detection of potential GVHD epitopes.
