[Autologous stem cell transplantation in systemic sclerosis].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a very effective treatment option for patients with severe systemic sclerosis (SSc). In addition to various case series two randomized controlled trials could prove its superiority over intense cyclophosphamide pulse therapy. Nevertheless, HSCT is associated with a treatment-related mortality of approximately 10 %; therefore, further studies should be carried out to reduce the toxicity of HSCT by adaptation of the therapy regimen and the option of HSCT should be made available earlier to patients with a high risk of mortality. The mechanism of action of HSCT is still poorly understood. While profibrotic cytokines or even autoantibodies hardly appear to be influenced by the treatment, alterations to regulatory T‑cells may play a role. Further improvement of transplantation regimens as well as a better understanding of the underlying pathogenetic principles and mechanisms of action should be the aim of further studies on HSCT.
