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

Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is associated with an increased risk of severe acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) compared to bone marrow transplantation. Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) can reduce severe acute and chronic GVHD in PBSCT; however, an optimal dose of ATG remains undefined. We conducted a multicenter phase II study to investigate safety and efficacy of low-dose ATG (a total of 2 mg/kg Thymoglobulin) in patients undergoing HLA-matched PBSCT after myeloablative conditioning. The primary endpoint was grades III-IV GVHD at 100 days. Seventy-seven patients were enrolled and 72 patients with a median age of 46.5 years were eligible for analysis. The primary endpoint, cumulative incidence of grades III-IV acute GVHD at 100 days was 1.4% (95% CI, 0.1-6.7%), which was greatly less than our pre-defined statistical threshold value (18.0%). The incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year was also low (all-grade; 15.3%, moderate to severe; 5.6%). Non-relapse mortality, relapse, overall survival, disease-free survival, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival at 1 year were 4.2%, 20.8%, 84.7%, 75.0%, and 69.4%, respectively. Low dose thymoglobulin is promising to reduce severe acute and chronic GVHD in HLA-matched PBSCT following myeloablative conditioning.
