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

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, also called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS), is a potentially life-threatening and unpredictable complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Characterized by a prothrombotic-hypofibrinolytic state, VOD/SOS typically presents with hyperbilirubinemia, ascites, weight gain and painful hepatomegaly; VOD/SOS with multiorgan failure may be associated with >80% mortality. Treatment has been mainly supportive. However, defibrotide is now approved in the USA for treatment of hepatic VOD/SOS with renal or pulmonary dysfunction following HSCT and in the European Union for treatment of severe hepatic VOD/SOS post-HSCT.
