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

To investigate if variations in immune and hematopoietic parameters correlated with immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients.A total of 115 SAA patients who received IST were included. Their immune and hematopoietic functionality changes had been evaluated at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3-year(s) IST.For SAA patients with complete remission (CR), the CD4/CD8T cell ratio continued to increase after a year of IST. The T helper (Th)1/Th2 ratio continued to decrease after 6 months of IST, as did the activated CD8 T cell percentage. The myeloid dendritic cell (mDC)/plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) ratio after 3 years of IST was significantly lower compared to that of untreated patients. The mDC/pDC and Th1/Th2 ratios exhibited positive correlation. The activated CD8 T cell percentage and the number of peripheral blood neutrophils showed inverse correlation. For SAA patients with partial remission (PR), the CD4T cell percentage increased at 1-year post-IST, but the later changes were not statistically significant. The other immune indexes of patients in partial remission group and nonremission (NR) group showed no obvious recovery. For all SAA patients, the percentage of T regulatory cells in CD4 lymphocyte was higher in post-IST group compared to the pretreatment group.For SAA patients responded well to IST, increase in peripheral neutrophils and improvement in bone marrow myeloid cells were first observed followed reduction in the activated CD8 T cell percentage, Th1/Th2 ratio, CD4/CD8T ratio, along with mDC/pDC ratio, all of which negatively correlated with the hematopoietic parameters. This demonstrates that IST prompts improvements of hematopoietic functionalities of the SAA patients by regulating their immune functionalities.
