Modern Medical Miracle: Matched Unrelated Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant After Aplastic Anemia.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Aplastic anemia is a hematological disease with deadly complications related to pancytopenia if not treated in a timely manner. First-line treatment consists of immunosuppressive therapy or matched sibling donor (MSD) hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Step up treatment involves a matched unrelated donor (MUD) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) alongside immunosuppressant conditioning. However, recent research suggests that there is improved success of MUD HSCT for severe aplastic anemia compared to immunosuppressive therapy. We present a case of an 18-year-old who was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia who received numerous immunosuppressive therapy regimens prior to obtaining a MUD HSCT. Over a year after bone marrow transplant, the patient is doing well with no signs of rejection. This case creates an argument for the use of upfront MUD HSCT as a curative treatment for acquired aplastic anemia rather than initial treatment with immunosuppressive agents.
