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

Immunosuppressive therapy (IST), consisting of anti thymocyte globulin and cyclosporine, is the standard of care for elderly patients and in younger patients without matched donor for stem cell transplant. In this retrospective study of 60 patients, most had non severe AA (51.6%) followed by very severe AA (26.7%) and severe AA (21.7%). The response rate at 6 months was 68.3% (complete response-3.3% and partial response-65%). Of the 45 who completed 12 months follow up, RR was 54.7% (CR-7.5%, PR-47.2 %). Eight patients died during the study period. Also, Indian data on IST is briefly reviewed.
