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

Use of high-dose, post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) results in low rates of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and favorable immune reconstitution, although with higher rates of relapse and somewhat high rates of graft failure. We hypothesized that permissible dose reduction of PTCy might be feasible. The current study attempts to establish a murine model and focus on regulatory T cells (Tregs) to clarify the immunological mechanisms for GVHD prevention by low-dose PTCy. In addition, a prospective, clinical cohort study in haploidentical, T-cell replete transplantation is initiated to support the rational. We found that acute GVHD could be alleviated by low-dose PTCy and could be further mitigated after the combined use of low-dose PTCy and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) in mice. Flow-cytometric analyses in mice showed that low-dose PTCy could increase the number of Tregs and the effect on Tregs is significantly prominent with the combined use of low-dose PTCy and ATG. In the clinical cohort study, the cumulative incidence of grades II-IV acute GVHD in combined treatment cohort with low-dose PTCy and ATG/granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (17%; 95% CI, 5-29%) was significantly lower than both that in matched-pair cohort (33%; 95% CI, 25-41%; P = 0.04) and that in historical cohort (56%; 95% CI, 42-70%; P < 0.001). In-vivo immune reconstitution analysis showed that low-dose PTCy could facilitate suppressive Tregs reconstitution. In conclusion, low-dose PTCy is sufficient for GVHD abrogation under lymphopenic situation and can enhance the protective effect of ATG/G-CSF on GVHD. Intensified conditioning followed by low-dose PTCy might be a feasible option for patients undergoing haploidentical transplantation.
