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-vs-host-disease (cGvHD) is the most relevant long-term complication after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with major impact on non-relapse mortality, but data on intensive care unit (ICU) outcome are missing. In this retrospective, multicenter study we analyzed 174 adult HSCT recipients with cGvHD requiring intensive care treatment. Skin, pulmonary, liver, and intestinal involvement were present in 76.7%, 47.1%, 38.1% and 24.1%, respectively, and a total of 63.2% had severe cGvHD. Main reasons for ICU admission were respiratory failure (69.7%) and sepsis (34.3%). Hospital- and 3-year OS rates were 51.7% and 28.6%, respectively. Global severity of cGvHD did not impact short- and long-term survival. However, patients with severe liver cGvHD or the overlap subtype had a reduced hospital survival, while severe pulmonary cGvHD was associated with worse long-term survival. In multivariate analysis need for invasive ventilation (HR 1.08 (95% CI 1.02-1.14)) or hemodialysis (HR 1.73 (95% CI 1.14-2.62)) and <1 year since HSCT (HR 1.56 (95% CI 1.03-2.39)) were independently associated with a poorer survival. While the global severity of cGvHD does not per se affect patients' survival after intensive care treatment, pre-existing severe hepatic, intestinal or pulmonary cGvHD is associated with worse outcomes.
