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

Graft-vs-host disease, characteristically a major complication of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, is rare after solid organ transplantation. We report a 50-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea shortly after bilateral lung transplantation. Colonoscopy with biopsy revealed diffuse severe active colitis with ulceration and crypt apoptosis consistent with graft-vs-host disease colitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of donor lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. His symptoms were refractory to corticosteroids but responded to the addition of infliximab and extracorporeal photophoresis. He remained in remission 17 months later.
