Vitiligo following stem-cell transplant.
Review in Bone marrow transplantation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Vitiligo is an acquired skin disorder characterised by depigmentation of skin due to the selective destruction of melanocytes. The pathogenesis of vitiligo is still relatively unknown, but associations between vitiligo and other systemic autoimmune diseases have been made, such as with patients who have undergone haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in the treatment of haematological conditions. This article aims to review published literature that have reported the incidence of vitiligo following HSCT in order to understand their relationship, and any potential connections between vitiligo and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). On the 21st of May 2017, the databases Pubmed, EMBASE and SCOPUS were searched using the search terms Stem cell or transplant or GVHD AND vitiligo or leucoderma or leucoderma. There was a total of 38 cases (from 28 case report articles) along with 9 cohort studies that were included in the review. The studies reviewed showed that the incidence of vitiligo in patients who have received HSCT is higher than that of the normal population. Current studies are largely limited to single-case reports, which have certain inconsistencies with regard to patient/donor profiling, and future studies should look to address these issues.
