Article in Biology of blood and marrow transplantation : journal of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00759018 (Expanded Access of Prochymal), which is not on this map. Cited by 43 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Clinical outcomes in children with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD) are generally poor, with a high mortality rate and limited therapeutic options. Here we report our updated investigational experience with mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy with remestemcel-L in a multicenter expanded access protocol (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00759018) in 241 children with aGVHD who failed to respond to steroids with or without other secondary and tertiary immunosuppressive therapies. A total of 241 children with grade B-D SR-aGVHD were enrolled at 50 sites in 8 countries and received 8 biweekly i.v. infusions of human MSCs, 2 × 10
