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

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a rare disease characterized by severe pancytopenia and bone marrow failure. Most patients with AA respond to immunosuppressive therapy (IST), usually as antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CsA), but some relapse on CsA withdrawal or require long-term administration of CsA to maintain blood counts. Recent research has found that rapamycin (Rapa) was an effective therapy in mouse models of immune-mediated bone marrow failure. However, it has not achieved a satisfactory effect in clinical application. At present, many studies have confirmed that eltrombopag (ELT) combined with IST can improve the curative effect of AA patients. Then, whether Rapa combined Elt in the treatment of AA will acquire better efficacy than a single drug application remains unclear. In this study, an immune attack-mediated AA mouse model was constructed by total body irradiation (TBI) and allo-lymphocyte infusion. In our study, we tested the efficacy of Rapa combined with Elt as a new treatment in mouse models of immune-mediated bone marrow failure. It showed that treatment with Rapa in combination Elt in the AA mouse model ameliorated pancytopenia and extended animal survival in a manner comparable to the standard dose of CsA and Rapa alone. However, there was no significant improvement effect on the number and function of NK cells and their subsets, mDCs, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in AA mice after the therapy of Rapa combined with Elt compared with Rapa alone. Furthermore, the secretion of IL-10 of Tregs in AA mice increased significantly after the therapy of Rapa combined with Elt, but there was no significant difference in the number of Treg cells. We did not observe the difference in the curative effect of the Rapa group and CsA group, but for IL-10/Tregs ratio, the Rapa group was superior to the CsA group. And the IFN-r secretion of CD8+T cells in AA mice decreased significantly after the combination therapy of Rapa and Elt than Rapa alone. Compared with the AA group, the level of plasma IFN-
