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

Hematopoietic cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a complication associated with higher nonrelapse mortality (NRM) in patients who undergo allogeneic transplant (HCT). Current classification criteria are not generally agreed on or validated, and the presence of confounding factors after transplant contribute to underdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of TMA. We studied risk factors, incidence, and biomarkers of TMA in 119 adult allogeneic HCT recipients. Twenty-seven patients developed a clinically actionable phenotype of TMA (CA-TMA) and the incidence of CA-TMA was 22% by day 180. Among the 27 patients who developed CA-TMA, 10 developed it before the onset of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), and 17 patients developed it after the onset of aGVHD. We report for the first time that age >50 years, BK hemorrhagic cystitis, and other viral infections (CMV, HHV-6, or adenovirus) are risk factors for adult CA-TMA. Even after adjustment for aGVHD, CA-TMA was independently associated with significantly higher NRM. These data illustrate relationships between CA-TMA and aGVHD, describe new risk factors for CA-TMA and emphasizes the need to develop validated set of criteria for timely diagnosis.
