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

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In the present study, we retrospectively evaluated whether soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) index, defined as the ratio of serum sIL-2R levels at neutrophil engraftment to those at the pre-conditioning regimen, was predictive of acute GVHD among 51 patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT as their first transplantation and achieved engraftment. The median sIL-2R index was 3.6, and the sIL-2R values were positively associated with acute GVHD severity (grade 0-I: 3.8 ± 2.0 vs. grade II-IV: 7.1 ± 5.7; P = 0.05). Grade II-IV acute GVHD had a cumulative incidence of 31.4 %, and was significantly more frequent among patients with an sIL-2R index of ≥4.5 (≥4.5: 50.0 % vs. <4.5: 21.2 %; P = 0.03). Multivariate analysis revealed that an sIL-2R index of ≥4.5 [hazard ratio (HR) 3.5, P < 0.01] and donor age of >35 years (HR 3.8, P = 0.02) were significant risk factors for grade II-IV acute GVHD. Therefore, increased sIL-2R levels from baseline to engraftment might predict the risk of moderate-to-severe acute GVHD after allogeneic HSCT from an unrelated donor.
