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

We evaluated the kinetics of immune reconstitution (IR) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT) and analyzed the clinical effect of IR on posttransplant outcomes. Absolute lymphocyte and its subset counts were measured using flow cytometry on days 28, 100, 180, 365, and 730 after transplantation in 358 adult patients who underwent HSCT between 2009 and 2017. On day 100 after HSCT, 310 surviving patients were analyzed. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT), peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), and cord blood transplantation (CBT) were performed in 119, 55, and 136 patients, respectively. Mature B-cell and differentiated natural killer (NK) cell subset counts significantly increased after CBT. The 2-year overall survival (OS), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), cumulative incidence of relapse, and chronic GVHD in BMT, PBSCT, and CBT were 62%, 67%, and 76% (P = .021); 17%, 17%, and 13% (P = .82); 33%, 40%, and 27% (P = .063); and 43%, 45%, and 28% (P = .025), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that higher CD16+CD57- NK cell counts correlated with lower disease relapse, whereas higher CD20+ B-cell counts correlated with lower NRM. OS-favoring factors were higher CD16+CD57- NK cell count (hazard ratio, 0.36; 95% confidence interval, 0.22-0.60; P < .001) and CD20+ B-cell count (hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.93; P < .001) and lower Disease Risk/HCT-Specific Comorbidity index score. Collective contribution of graft source-specific and event-related immune reconstitution might yield better posttransplant outcomes in CBT.
