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

Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is one of the complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that can also be caused by high-dose chemotherapy. This complication can lead to high mortality following bone marrow transplantation. It is more common after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and is rare after autologous stem cell transplantation. While mild cases of VOD may reduce over a period of a few weeks, very severe cases can cause multi-organ damage, which has a high mortality. is therefore required with early diagnosis and treatment of this complication. In this paper, we present a sever VOD case after autologous stem cell transplantation, that was treated successfully with Defibrotide. The patient was a 14-month-old girl who has neuroblastoma with bone metastasis. VOD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients who present with unexplained liver injuries, ascites and/or multi organ failure. Recipients of haematopoeitic stem cell transplantation who present with unexplained liver injuries, ascites and/or multi organ failure should have VOD considered in their differential diagnosis. If there is severe VOD diagnosed, then Defibrotide could be an option for treatment.
