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

Reduced-intensity conditioning has improved survival after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) at the cost of more frequent mixed chimerism. The minimum level of donor chimerism (DC) required to prevent HLH reactivation in humans remains to be determined. In a multicenter retrospective study, 103 patients transplanted for hereditary HLH (2000-2013) and DC permanently or transiently <75% (overall, CD3(+), CD56(+)) were analyzed regarding DC, specific immunologic function, occurrence of systemic reactivations (≥5/8 HLH criteria), partial systemic flares (<5 criteria and HLH-directed treatment), isolated central nervous system reactivations, and management. Recurrence was reported in 18 patients (systemic reactivation n = 11, partial flare n = 3, isolated central nervous system reactivation n = 4). Ten events occurred during profound immune suppression before day 180 (median DC, 10%; range, 1-100%; CD3(+) if available, otherwise overall DC), which renders a differentiation between secondary post-HSCT HLH and HLH related to the genetic defect difficult. Eight events occurred between 0.5 and 6.7 years post-HSCT (median DC, 13%; range, 0-30%). In 5 patients, overall and lineage-specific DC were ≤10% for >6 months (median, 5.1; range, 1.1-10 years) without reactivation. A second HSCT was performed in 18 patients (median, DC 4%; range, 0-19%). Death from reactivation occurred in 4 patients (22% of recurrences). Six patients died of transplant complications following a second HSCT (33% of second HSCT). We conclude that a DC >20%-30% is protective against late reactivation. Lower levels do not, however, inescapably result in recurrences. The decision for or against second HSCT must be based on a thorough risk assessment.
