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

HLA disparity is the major predictor of outcome following unrelated donor (UD) transplantation, where a single mismatch (mm) at the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, or HLA-DRB1 locus leads to increased mortality, and mismatching at multiple loci compounds this effect. In contrast, HLA disparity has not been shown to increase mortality in the context of haploidentical transplant using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). To better define the consequences of loci-specific HLA mm, we analyzed 208 consecutive patients undergoing haploidentical transplantation for hematologic malignancy using PTCy at our institution (median age, 52 years [range, 19-75 years]; peripheral blood stem cell, 66%; reduced-intensity conditioning, 59%). Median follow-up was 65.4 months (range, 34.3-157.2 months). In univariate analysis, a single class II HLA mm at HLA-DR, HLA-DQ or a nonpermissive (np) HLA-DP mm had a protective effect on disease-free and overall survival (OS), primarily a result of reduced relapse risk. Furthermore, this survival effect was cumulative, so that patients with 3 class II mm (HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, and np HLA-DP) had the best OS. In multivariate analysis, HLA-DR mm and np HLA-DP mm were both independently associated with improved OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.43; P =.001; and HR, 0.47; P =.011, respectively). In contrast, single or multiple mm at HLA-A, HLA-B, or HLA-C loci had no effect on acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), relapse, or survival, although the presence of an HLA-A mm was associated with increased chronic GVHD incidence. The association of class II mm with lower relapse occurred without a corresponding increase in NRM or acute or chronic GVHD. These findings will require validation in larger registry studies.
