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

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can be curative for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), but comorbidities increase transplant-related mortality. Here we report the outcome of allo-HSCT in a patient with ATL with human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1)-associated myelopathy-tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). A 48-year-old man was diagnosed with HAM/TSP and started prednisolone therapy. Ten years later, he developed lymphoma-type ATL. At the diagnosis of ATL, Osame's Motor Disability Score (OMDS) was 4. When prednisolone was gradually tapered and stopped following chemotherapy for ATL, HAM/TSP symptoms recurred (OMDS 7). Bone marrow transplantation from a human leukocyte antigen allele 8/8 matched unrelated donor was performed while ATL was in partial remission. Neutrophil engraftment with complete donor chimerism was achieved on day 19 after allo-HSCT. Mild gait improvement (OMDS 5) was observed on day 30. Although ATL relapsed on day 275, progression of HAM/TSP symptoms was not observed. Furthermore, there was no clear progression of HAM/TSP symptoms after donor lymphocyte infusions. The outcome of this case suggests that ATL patients with HAM/TSP tolerate allo-HSCT and donor lymphocyte infusions.
