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

backgroundInvasive fungal disease (IFD) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are major causes of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the impacts of IFD on chronic GVHD remain unknown.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 510 patients with hematologic malignancy undergoing allo-HSCT to explore the effects of IFD on chronic GVHD.

resultsThe 2-year cumulative incidences of overall (limited and extensive) and extensive chronic GVHD post-transplantation were higher in patients with IFD compared with those without IFD (69.5% ± 4.2% versus 32.9% ± 2.4%, P < .001; 43.0% ± 5.2% versus 6.6% ± 1.4%, P < .001, respectively). Moreover, the patients with IFD had higher 5-year transplant-related mortality, lower 5-year overall survival and lower 5-year disease-free survival (29.8% ± 4.3% versus 9.8% ± 1.6%, P < .001; 50.5% ± 4.9% versus 71.3% ± 2.4%, P < .001 and 48.8% ± 4.7% versus 71.8% ± 2.3%, P < .001, respectively). Multivariable analyses demonstrated that IFD increased the risk of chronic GVHD.

conclusionOur results suggest that IFD significantly contributes to the development of chronic GVHD after allo-HSCT.
