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

aimTo investigate the association of adiponectin and resistin levels in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with the clinical outcome, including the occurrence of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), non-relapse mortality, and overall survival.

methodsWe prospectively collected serum samples from 40 patients undergoing either autologous (n=12; 10 male) or allogeneic (n=28; 11 male) HSCT for up to 12 months post HSCT and determined adiponectin and resistin serum concentrations using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsThere were no significant differences in adiponectin levels (18.5 vs 9.3 μg/mL, P=0.071) and adiponectin/BMI ratio (0.82 vs 0.39, P=0.068) between patients with acute GVHD grades 2-4 and autologous controls. However, resistin values were significantly lower in patients with acute GVHD grades 2-4 than in autologous controls (4.6 vs 7.3 ng/mL, P=0.030). Adiponectin levels were higher in patients with chronic GVHD (n=17) than in autologous controls (13.5 vs 7.6 μg/mL, P=0.051), but the difference was not significant. Adiponectin/BMI ratio was significantly higher in patients with chronic GVHD than in autologous controls (0.59 vs 0.25, P=0.006). Patients dying from relapse also had significantly lower adiponectin levels (8.2 μg/mL) and adiponectin/BMI ratio (0.3) on admission than surviving allogeneic (15.8 µg/mL, P=0.030 and 0.7, P=0.004) and surviving autologous patients (19.2 μg/mL, P=0.031 and 0.7, P=0.021).

conclusionAdiponectin and resistin levels were altered in patients with acute and chronic GVHD compared to autologous controls and were associated with overall survival and relapse mortality in patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT.
