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

Graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival, which is defined as the absence of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease, systemically treated chronic graft-versus-host disease, relapse, and death, is a novel, meaningful composite end point for clinical trials. To characterize risk factors and differences in graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival according to a variety of graft sources, we analyzed 23,302 patients with hematologic malignancy that had a first allogeneic transplantation from 2000 through 2013 using the Japanese national transplant registry database. The 1-year graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival rate was 41% in all patients. The rate was higher after bone marrow transplantation than after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation due to the lower risks of III-IV acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease. The rate was highest after HLA-matched sibling bone marrow transplantation. The rate after single cord blood transplantation was comparable to that after HLA-matched unrelated bone marrow transplantation among patients aged 20 years or under, and was comparable or better than other alternative graft sources among patients aged 21 years or over, due to the low risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease. Other factors associated with better graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival include female patients, antithymocyte globulin prophylaxis (for standard-risk disease), recent years of transplantation, sex combinations other than from a female donor to a male patient, the absence of prior autologous transplantation, myeloablative conditioning, negative cytomegalovirus serostatus, and tacrolimus-based prophylaxis. These results provide important information to guide the choice of graft sources and are benchmarks for future graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis studies.
