Chronic liver graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients during tapering or after stopping calcineurin inhibitors.
Article in International journal of hematology, 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
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) of the liver is often observed in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) during tapering or after stopping calcineurin inhibitors (CI). We conducted a retrospective analysis of 242 allo-HSCT recipients whose CI dose was reduced to less than 40 mg of cyclosporin A or 0.4 mg of tacrolimus to clarify the clinical characteristics of liver GVHD in patients on low-dose CI. Sixty patients (25%) developed clinically suspected liver cGVHD while on low-dose CI. Multivariate analysis showed that donor age ≥ 40 years [hazard ratio (HR) 2.20], myeloablative conditioning (HR 2.19), female donor to male recipient (HR 2.53) and recipient seropositivity for herpes simplex virus (HR 2.52) were significant risk factors for liver cGVHD during low-dose CI period. Peak aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels were higher in patients with liver GVHD during low-dose CI period than in other periods. Twenty-seven patients were initially treated with resumption of CI or a CI dose increase and 21 responded. Among the 18 patients treated with corticosteroids, total bilirubin was a risk factor for failure of corticosteroid therapy. The results of this study clarified the clinical characteristics of liver GVHD in patients on low-dose CIs.
