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.

Abstract

This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sirolimus in addition to cyclosporine (CSP) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after nonmyeloablative conditioning for HLA class I or II mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Eligible patients had hematologic malignancies treatable by allogeneic HCT. Conditioning consisted of fludarabine (90 mg/m2) and 2 to 3 Gy total body irradiation. GVHD prophylaxis comprised cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and sirolimus. The primary objective was to determine whether the cumulative incidence of grade 2 to 4 acute GVHD could be reduced to <70% in HLA class I or II mismatched HCT. The study was closed on December 20, 2018. Seventy-seven participants were recruited between April 14, 2011, and December 12, 2018, of whom 76 completed the study intervention. Median follow-up was 47 months (range, 4-94 months). The cumulative incidence of grade 2 to 4 acute GVHD at day 100 was 36% (95% confidence interval [CI], 25-46), meeting the primary end point. The cumulative incidence of nonrelapse morality, relapse/progression, and overall survival was 18% (95% CI, 9-27), 30% (interquartile range, 19-40), and 62% (95% CI, 50-73) after 4 years. In conclusion, the addition of sirolimus to cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil resulted in a lower incidence of acute GVHD, thus translating into superior overall survival compared with historical results. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01251575.
