Review in Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that typically affects young people during their most productive years, causing irreversible damage and accumulation of disability. Treatments over time have had modest effects at completely controlling or suppressing disease activity, but are generally aimed at controlling early dominating inflammation that, over time, accumulates damage and leads to progressive disability. Some unfortunate patients are destined to deteriorate despite even newer and more effective agents because of the inability of these drugs to fully curb the inflammatory component of the disease. These patients require something more that might be capable of halting the disease process. Using high-intensity myeloablative chemotherapeutic agents, it is now possible to completely remove the peripheral immune system and replace it anew from autologous bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells, purged of disease-causing MS cells. This procedure, referred to as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), produces a new immune system that appears tolerant and no longer attacks the central nervous system (CNS).
