Trial reportCytotherapy2020
Rapid reconstitution of regulatory T-cell subsets is associated with reduced rates of acute graft-versus-host disease and absence of viremia after cord blood transplantation in children with reduced-intensity conditioning using alemtuzumab.

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
Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)+ regulatory T cell (Treg) reconstitution after unrelated donor umbilical cord blood transplantation in chemotherapy-naïve children is incompletely characterized. We studied 21 children with nonmalignant diseases receiving an identical alemtuzumab-containing regimen. We hypothesized that Treg recovery may be perturbed in patients not only by acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) but also by viremia. Tregs and their memory and naïve subsets were serially monitored for proliferation and apoptosis along with conventional T cells (Tcon). A "reconstitution index" (RI) was calculated relative to pretransplantation values for each parameter. At 3 months post-UCBT, the RI of Tregs was faster compared with other immune components tested and was most rapid in patients free of aGVHD and viremia. There were significantly fewer Tregs in patients experiencing grade I-II aGVHD and/or viremia, leading to an imbalance between Tregs-Tcon ratios. Central and effector memory Tregs were most affected at this time point when they dominated in the circulation. Impaired Treg proliferation without increased apoptosis accounted for the reduced Treg-Tcon ratio. In patients affected with grade II aGVHD and viremia, the overall reduction in circulating Treg pool were associated with a more oligoclonal T-cell receptor β repertoire. Taken together, aGVHD and viremia can lead to defective Treg expansion homeostasis.
