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

backgroundAn association between early CD4+ T cell immune reconstitution (CD4+ IR) and survival after T-replete allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been previously reported. Here we report validation of this relationship in a separate cohort that included recipients of ex vivo T-cell-depleted (TCD) HCT. We studied the relationship between CD4+ IR and clinical outcomes.

methodsA retrospective analysis of children/young adults receiving their first allogeneic HCT for any indication between January 2008 and December 2017 was performed. We related early CD4+ IR (defined as achieving >50 CD4+ T cells/µL on two consecutive measures within 100 days of HCT) to overall survival (OS), relapse, non-relapse mortality (NRM), event-free survival (EFS) and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Fine and Gray competing risk models and Cox proportional hazard models were used.

resultsIn this analysis, 315 patients with a median age of 10.4 years (interquartile range 5.0-16.5 years) were included. The cumulative incidence of CD4+ IR at 100 days was 66.7% in the entire cohort, 54.7% in TCD (N = 208, hazard ratio [HR] 0.47, P < 0.001), 90.0% in uCB (N = 40) and 89.6% in T-replete (N = 47) HCT recipients. In multi-variate analyses, not achieving early CD4+ IR was a predictor of inferior OS (HR 2.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.46-3.79, P < 0.001) and EFS (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.20-2.69, P = 0.004) and increased NRM (HR 6.58, 95% CI 2.82-15.38, P < 0.001). No impact of CD4+ IR on relapse or aGVHD was found. Within the TCD group, similar associations were observed.

conclusionIn this HCT cohort, including recipients of TCD HCT, we confirmed that early CD4+ IR was an excellent predictor of outcomes. Finding strategies to predict or improve CD4+ IR may influence outcomes.
