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

Steroid-resistant (SR) acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Vedolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that impairs homing of T cells to the gastrointestinal (GI) endothelium by blocking the α4β7 integrin. We retrospectively analyzed outcomes following vedolizumab administration for treatment of SR GI GvHD. Overall, 29 patients from three transplantation centers were included. Histopathology was available in 24 (83%) patients. The overall response rate (ORR) was 23/29 (79%); 8 (28%) patients had a complete response and 15 (52%) a partial response. Vedolizumab was administered as a 2nd-line or ≥3rd-line treatment in 13 (45%) and 16 (55%) patients, respectively. ORR in the former groups was 13/13 (100%) versus 10/16 (63%) in the latter (p = 0.012); corresponding CR rates were 7/13 (54%) versus 1/16 (6%) (p = 0.005). Early administration of vedolizumab was also associated with a greater likelihood of patients being off immunosuppression ((9/13 (69%) versus 3/16 (19%), p = 0.007) and free from fatal infectious complications (5/13 versus 14/16, p = 0.006). Overall, our data suggest that vedolizumab, especially if administered early in the disease course, may ameliorate severe SR GI aGvHD. The timing, role, and safety of vedolizumab should be further explored in prospective clinical trials.
