Methods to Assess Disease Activity and Severity in Cutaneous Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease: A Critical Literature Review.
Review in Transplantation and cellular therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), a potentially debilitating complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation, confers increased risk for mortality. Whereas treatment decisions rely on an accurate assessment of disease activity/severity, validated methods of assessing cutaneous cGVHD activity/severity appear to be limited. In this study, we aimed to identify and evaluate current data on the assessment of disease activity/severity in cutaneous cGVHD. Using modified PRISMA methods, we performed a critical literature review for relevant articles. Our literature search identified 1741 articles, of which 1635 were excluded as duplicates or failure to meet inclusion criteria. Of the included studies (n = 106), 39 (37%) addressed clinical and/or histopathologic parameters, 53 (50%) addressed serologic parameters, 8 (7.5%) addressed imaging parameters, and 6 (5.5%) addressed computer-based technologies. The only formally validated metric of disease activity/severity assessment in cutaneous cGVHD is the National Institutes of Health consensus scoring system, which is founded on clinical assessment alone. The lack of an objective marker for cGVHD necessitates further studies. An evaluation of the potential contributions of serologic, imaging, and/or computer-based technologies is warranted.
