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

Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has been explored in several types of stem cell transplantations (SCTs) and it proved highly effective in controlling graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) without aggravating relapsed disease. However, PTCy alone has resulted in inferior outcomes in matched sibling donor (MSD) employing peripheral blood (PB) SCTs. We hypothesized that adding thymoglobulin to PTCy would be able to control GvHD effectively. We retrospectively compared the use of standard GvHD prophylaxis encompassing a combination of PTCy and thymoglobulin (ATG) in patients with myeloid malignancies in a myeloablative conditioning MSD PBSCT. Forty-two patients underwent PBSCT using either methotrexate and cyclosporine (MTX/CSA, 21 patients) or PTCy and ATG (21 patients) as a GvHD prophylaxis. With median follow-ups of 71 months, the 1-year GvHD-free, relapse-free survival rates and chronic GvHD-free survival rate of the standard and PTCy/ATG groups were similar: 24% versus 37% (
