Risk Factors for Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) remains the most common and challenging complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). An important obstacle to the therapeutic effect of aGVHD is the inability to identify risk factors for an individual patient at the onset of symptoms. We performed a retrospective study with the aim of defining clinically meaningful pre-transplantation risk factors for grades II-IV aGVHD patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS To identify pre-transplantation risk factors for grades II-IV aGVHD after allo-HSCT, we performed a retrospective study in 292 patients who underwent allo-HSCT at our center from January 2010 to July 2015. RESULTS The cumulative incidence of grades II-IV aGVHD was 36.6±2.8%. The most common target organ of aGVHD was the skin (46.7%), followed by the gastrointestinal tract (29.9%). The risk factors we identified included HLA-mismatched related donors (odds ratio [OR], 3.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.82-5.67) and conditioning regimens containing TBI but no ATG (OR, 2.66; 95% CI, 1.40-5.06). Simultaneously, transplantation with an identical sibling donor (OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.18-0.55) and the use of ATG in the conditioning regimen containing TBI (OR 0.37; 95% CI, 0.15-0.93) were two factors found to be associated with a decreased risk of grades II-IV aGVHD. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that pre-transplantation characteristics of donor and recipient play an important role in identifying patients at high risk for grades II-IV aGVHD, which provide a direction for the prevention and treatment of aGVHD in the future.
