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

backgroundA new protocol has been developed on the Amicus Separator that enables the device to perform online extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) procedures when used in conjunction with the Phelix photoactivation device and associated disposable kit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance of the Amicus ECP System in adult subjects with steroid-refractory or dependent chronic graft vs host disease (cGVHD). STUDY DESIGN AND

methodsEight subjects with mild to severe cGVHD underwent 31 procedures. Subject safety evaluations were performed pre and post procedure and adverse events (AEs) were recorded during treatment and 24 hours after the last procedure. In vitro evaluations of the treated cells included hematology counts and lymphocyte apoptosis, viability and proliferation as measures for ECP procedure validation.

resultsFor n = 23 evaluable procedures, median (range) procedure time was 88 (78-110) minutes, during which 2.9 (0.6-4.7) × 10

conclusionECP procedures were safely completed in adult subjects with SR-cGVHD treated using the new online Amicus ECP system.
