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

objectivesThe curative effect of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute leukaemia is due in part to the donor T cell-mediated graft-versus-leukaemia immune reaction (GvL). Several studies have suggested that donor CD25+CD4+Foxp3+regulator T cells (Tregs) may decrease graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) without abrogating GVL. This notion may need modification in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

methodsFoxp3 mRNA level was measured by qPCR in preharvest donor blood CD4+ T cells. The study comprised 45 patients with ALL in 1st or 2nd CR who received myeloablative HSCT using T-replete bone marrow grafts.

resultsRelapse occurred in 17 patients median 363 days after HSCT. The relapse risk was estimated by Cox univariate and multivariate proportional hazard regression. The proportionality assumption was met by analysing the preharvest donor Foxp3 mRNA level as a time-dependent covariate. Early relapse was not modified by the Foxp3 mRNA level. However, a higher Foxp3 mRNA level was associated with a significantly increased relapse risk after day 363 after transplantation, compatible with inhibition of GvL. In contrast, a higher preharvest donor CD4+ T-cell concentration was associated with reduced relapse risk.

conclusionA higher preharvest donor Foxp3 mRNA level may be predictive of late ALL relapse after HSCT.
