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

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a major cause of non-relapse morbidity and mortality following allogeneic stem cell transplant. Over half of patients with moderate or severe cGvHD fail to respond adequately to first-line treatment with systemic steroids, and although a range of second-line options have been employed, a lack of prospective evidence means there is no standard of care. The AZTEC trial is a prospective, single-arm, phase II study investigating the safety and activity of azacitidine for the treatment of cGvHD in patients who are resistant to, or intolerant of, systemic steroid therapy. The co-primary outcomes were treatment tolerability, and activity measured as objective response according to modified National Institutes of Health criteria. Fourteen patients were recruited to the first stage of the trial, of whom seven completed the planned six cycles of azacitidine 36 mg/m
