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.

Abstract

Relapse has emerged as the most important cause of treatment failure after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To test the hypothesis that natural killer (NK) cells can decrease the risk of leukemia relapse, we initiated a phase 1 dose-escalation study of membrane-bound interleukin 21 (mbIL21) expanded donor NK cells infused before and after haploidentical HSCT for high-risk myeloid malignancies. The goals were to determine the safety, feasibility, and maximum tolerated dose. Patients received a melphalan-based reduced-intensity conditioning regimen and posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. NK cells were infused on days -2, +7, and +28 posttransplant. All NK expansions achieved the required cell number, and 11 of 13 patients enrolled received all 3 planned NK-cell doses (1 × 10
