Associations between febrile neutropenia-related parameters and the risk of acute GVHD or non-relapse mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

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
Infection and inflammation can induce acute graft-vs.-host disease (aGVHD). We hypothesized that febrile neutropenia early after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) would increase the risk of aGVHD and non-relapse mortality (NRM). We retrospectively evaluated the impact of fever, C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration and blood stream infection (BSI) early after HCT on the incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD and NRM in 227 patients. Within 7 days after HCT, 91 (40.1%) patients experienced fever for at least 2 days (early-FN group). BSI occurred in 27 (11.9%) patients and the maximum CRP concentration was 2.57 mg/dl in the median. In a multivariate analysis, early-FN (hazard ratio (HR) 1.81, P = 0.007) and older recipient age (HR 1.68, P = 0.019) were significantly associated with the incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD. High-CRP and BSI were not significant risk factors for grade II-IV aGVHD. On the other hand, high-CRP was significantly associated with the incidence of NRM (HR 2.67, P = 0.004) in a multivariate analysis. In conclusion, although fever, CRP elevation and BSI are considered to be closely related events, they had different effects on the incidence of aGVHD and NRM. The development of early-FN after HCT may predict the risk of aGVHD.
