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

Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a severe complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) characterized by weight gain, generalized edema, hypotension, and hypoalbuminemia. The primary pathogenesis is injury of the capillary endothelium resulting in a loss of intravascular fluid into the interstitial space. Treatment is limited to vascular endothelial growth factor withdrawal and systemic corticosteroids. We report two cases with CLS where weight gain, ascites, and hypotension developed after neutrophil engraftment following allogeneic HSCT. We obtained serial electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and albumin from these patients. Ultrasound with Doppler tracing performed on both patients showed no reversal of portal venous flow. Issues addressed were the restoration of regular hydration by hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions, together with systemic corticosteroids and forced diuresis. Tetrastarch was administered 10 and 20 days, respectively. Both patients recovered without sequelae. CLS is a frequent complication after allogeneic HSCT. The effects of HES on CLS merit further consideration and prospective study.
