Review in Blood, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.

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

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is 1 of the major life-threating complications after allogeneic cell transplantation. Although steroids remain first-line treatment, roughly one-half of patients will develop steroid-refractory GVHD (SR-GVHD), which portends an extremely poor prognosis. Many agents that have shown encouraging response rates in early phase 1/2 trials for prevention and treatment have been unsuccessful in demonstrating a survival advantage when applied in the setting of SR-GVHD. The discovery of novel treatments has been further complicated by the absence of clinically informative animal models that address what may reflect a distinct pathophysiology. Nonetheless, the combined knowledge of established bone marrow transplantation models and recent human trials in SR-GVHD patients are beginning to illuminate novel mechanisms for inhibiting T-cell signaling and promoting tissue tolerance that provide an increased understanding of the underlying biology of SR-GVHD. Here, we discuss recent findings of newly appreciated cellular and molecular mechanisms and provide novel translational opportunities for advancing the effectiveness of treatment in SR-GVHD.
