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

objectiveTo investigate the long-term clinical efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8)-positive multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD).

methodsA 17-year-old female patient was admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital with the complaint of febrile for half a month, headache, and enlarged superficial lymph nodes on October 5, 2010. HHV8-positive mixed cellular Castleman's disease was found by pathological diagnosis of lymph nodes biopsy. After the administration of CHOP and Hyper-CVAD-B, the patient was still febrile, we administrated the followed COAP, two courses of VAD(Vincristine, Adriamycin, Dexamethasone), the patient received CR. Six months after CR, the patient relapsed, we administrated VAD and two courses of bortezomide+dexamethasone chemotherapy, and then the patient received PR. After that, the patient underwent allo-HSCT from his human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched unrelated donor after conditioning with Bu/Cy+Etoposide+Smoustin.graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, which consisted of ATG (7.5 mg/kg, qd, ivdrip) from d-5 to d-2, cyclosporine (3 mg/kg/d, qd, ivdrip, for 24 h) started from day-1, MMF(0.5 g, tid, po.) started from day+1 to +28, and MTX (15 mg per time, ivdrip, d+1,+4,+7,+11). She received 3.5×10

resultsGranulocyte engraftment occurred on day+12, platelet engrafted on day+14. Bone marrow biopsy showed normalization of trilineage hematopoiesis on day+33, chimerism: 97.6%. The transplantation was successful and followed up for 7 years with CR.

conclusionAllo-HSCT might cure patients with refractory/relapsed HHV8+ MCD.
