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

Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a life-threatening pulmonary manifestation of chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), without clear standard of care. This study included 30 patients undergoing an allogeneic HSCT for a hematological malignancy and the outcomes with post-HSCT BOS treated with ruxolitinib as a salvage treatment were reviewed. After a median duration of ruxolitinib therapy of 9.25 (1.5-27) months, the best overall response (BOR) rate was 66.7%: three patients (10.0%) achieved complete remission, and 17 (56.7%) achieved partial remission. The median time from initiation of ruxolitinib to achieve the best responses was 3 months. Since initiating ruxolitinib, forced expiratory volume in 1 s of predicted (FEV1%pred) slightly increased after 3 and 6 months compared with measurements before ruxolitinib in responders. Only FEV1%pred mild decline before ruxolitinib with a ratio ≤15% was an independent predictor to achieve a response to ruxolitinib. Eleven patients (36.7%) had severe pulmonary infection of ≥3 grade. Following a median follow-up of 318 days after ruxolitinib, the 2-years incidence of nonrelapse mortality and 2-years overall survival rate after ruxolitinib among patients with BOS was 25.1 and 62.6%, respectively. Ruxolitinib is a promising treatment option to improve the prognosis of post-HSCT BOS.
