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

Chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) is a common late complication of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). We analyzed risk factors, pattern and long term transplant outcomes of cGVHD at a tertiary cancer centre. Seventy-seven consecutive patients who underwent HSCT for acute leukemia were included. Forty (52 %) patients developed cGVHD; 24 (60 %) extensive stage while 16 (40 %) limited stage. Oral cavity was the commonest site of involvement (25 patients) followed by liver, skin and lung. We found that female donor to male recipient transplant and diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were the only factors associated with increased risk of cGVHD. The incidence of leukemia relapse was 18 % in patients who developed cGVHD compared to 51 % in those who did not (P = 0.002). Four year overall survival and relapse free survival (RFS) were 62 and 46 % in patients who developed cGVHD compared to 29 % (P < 0.001) and 29 % (P < 0.001) in patients who did not develop cGVHD, respectively. We conclude that cGVHD is more common in male patients with female donors and in patients transplanted for ALL. Oral cavity is the commonest site of cGVHD in our patients and transplant related survival outcomes are superior in patients who develop cGVHD.
