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

backgroundDespite intensive multimodal therapies, the prognosis of relapsed/ refractory Ewing sarcoma family tumors (RR-ESFTs) is dismal. Some case reports using allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo SCT) for RR-ESFTs have been reported, however, the efficacy of allo SCT is yet to be established.

aimThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the response and toxicity of T-cell replete haploidentical SCT (TCR-haplo-SCT) in RR-ESFTs. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, we retrospectively analyzed six patients with RR-ESFTs who received TCR-haplo-SCT. Four patients had relapsed and two patients had refractory Ewing sarcoma. Before the TCR-haplo-SCT, all patients received a reduced intensity-conditioning regimen containing fludarabine, melphalan, and low-dose rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (2.5 mg/kg), as well as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, which consisted of tacrolimus, methotrexate, and prednisolone. Primary neutrophil engraftment was achieved in all the patients. Four patients developed acute GVHD (aGVHD) (grade I, 1; grade II, 1; grade III, 2), and two patients developed chronic GVHD (cGVHD). Among the four that developed aGVHD, three survived for 14, 116, and 129 months without relapse, while one died due to a transplant-related complication. In contrast, the two patients who did not develop aGVHD experienced relapse early after TCR-haplo-SCT.

conclusionsIn this study, three of the six patients with RR-ESFTs survived for more than one year without relapse, and the treatment toxicity was considered acceptable even for patients who underwent high-intensity pretreatment. TCR-haplo-SCT could be a potential therapeutic option for patients with RR-ESFTs.
