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

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a complication related to major or bidirectional ABO mismatched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This disorder is characterized by anemia, reticulocytopenia, and the absence or virtual absence of erythroid progenitors, other causes such as infections, hemolysis, disease relapse, or drug toxicity having been excluded. Patients with PRCA may become RBC transfusion dependent for long periods, suffering an important long-term iron overload, alloimmunization, and transfusion reactions. The persistence of recipient isoagglutinins against donor ABO antigens produced by host residual plasmatic cells has been considered as the immunological cause of the prolonged erythroid aplasia. PRCA behaves in many cases as a self-limited condition and resolution may occur spontaneously within weeks, months, and even years. Many different therapeutic approaches have been reported for posttransplant PRCA as plasmapheresis, high doses of erythropoietin, donor lymphocyte infusions, anti-thymocyte globulin, Rituximab and steroids, among others. However, to date there is no standard of care and the question if patients with PRCA should be treated and at which point remains. The objective of this article is to review the natural evolution of PRCA, and the treatments that have been used over time focusing on their suitability and efficacy.
