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

A phase 3 clinical trial (BMT CTN 0402) comparing tacrolimus/sirolimus (Tac/Sir) vs tacrolimus/methotrexate (Tac/Mtx) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after matched-related allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recently showed no difference between study arms in acute GVHD-free survival. Within this setting of a prospective, multicenter study with uniform GVHD prophylaxis, conditioning regimen, and donor source, we explored the correlation of 10 previously identified biomarkers with clinical outcomes after allogeneic HCT. We measured biomarkers from plasma samples collected in 211 patients using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Tac/Sir = 104, Tac/Mtx = 107). High suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (ST2) and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM3) at day 28 correlated with 2-year nonrelapse mortality in multivariate analysis (P = .0050, P = .0075, respectively) and in a proportional hazards model with time-dependent covariates (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.43 [1.49-3.95], P = .0038 and 4.87 [2.53-9.34], P < .0001, respectively). High ST2 and TIM3 correlated with overall survival. Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9) levels above the median were associated with chronic GVHD compared with levels below the median in a time-dependent proportional hazard analysis (P = .0069). Low L-Ficolin was associated with hepatic veno-occlusive disease (P = .0053, AUC = 0.80). We confirmed the correlation of plasma-derived proteins, previously assessed in single-center cohorts, with clinical outcomes after allogeneic HCT within this prospective, multicenter study.
