Case Report: Liver as a Source of Hematopoietic Stem Cells After Liver Transplantation Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a child with Fanconi anemia who, after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) complicated by acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Approximately 1 month after OLT, the presence of third-party genetic material from the liver donor was noted and in the next few weeks, the chimerism assessment revealed 100% liver donor leukocytes in the peripheral blood. The rapidly progressing GVHD with gut involvement resulted in patient's death 6 months after OLT. The liver can act as a clinically significant source of hematopoietic stem cells, and the liver donor's young age must be emphasized as potentially predisposing to this phenomenon. Transfer of OLT hematopoietic stem cells may not have clinical significance unless the patient is not immunocompetent or develops liver-transplantation associated GVHD, that can result in lymphocyte mediated elimination of original hematopoiesis. Patients with preexisting immunity disorder (such as primary or secondary immunodeficiency) might require intensified immunosuppressive therapy in peritransplant period as a prevention of liver-transplantation associated GVHD. Close monitoring of hematopoietic chimerism after OLT is warranted in patients at risk, because cytopenia or OLT hematopoiesis can reflect subclinical GVHD and further studies are necessary to elucidate this phenomenon.
