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

Previous studies have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The current study determined whether these associations could be replicated in large cohorts of donors and recipients. Each SNP was tested with cohorts of patients having the same donor type (HLA-matched related, unrelated, or both) reported in the original publication, and testing was limited to the same genome (recipient or donor) and genetic model (dominant, recessive, or allelic) reported in the original study. The 21 SNPs reported in this study represent 19 genes, and the analysis encompassed 22 SNP association tests. The hazard ratio (HR) point estimates and risk ratio point estimates corresponding to odds ratios in previous studies consistently fall outside the 95% confidence intervals of HR estimates in the current study. Despite the large size of the cohorts available for the current study, the 95% confidence intervals for most HRs did not exclude 1.0. Three SNPs representing CTLA4, HPSE, and IL1R1 showed evidence of association with the risk of chronic GVHD in unrelated donor-recipient pairs from 1 cohort, but none of these associations was replicated when tested in unrelated donor-recipient pairs from an independent cohort. Two SNPs representing CCR6 and FGFR1OP showed possible associations with the risk of chronic GVHD in related donor-recipient pairs but not in unrelated donor-recipient pairs. These results remain to be tested for replication in other cohorts of related donor-recipient pairs.
