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

Severe acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Historically, cord blood and matched sibling transplantation has been associated with the lowest rates of GVHD. Newer methods have modified the lymphocyte components to minimize alloimmunity, including: anti-thymocyte globulin, post-transplant cyclophosphamide, alpha/beta T cell depletion, and abatacept. These agents have shown promise in reducing severe GVHD, however, can be associated with increased risks of relapse, graft failure, infections, and delayed immune reconstitution. Nonetheless, these GVHD prophylaxis strategies have permitted expansion of donor sources, especially critical for those of non-Caucasian decent who previously lacked transplant options. This review will focus on the biologic mechanisms driving GVHD, the method by which each agent impacts these activated pathways, and the clinical consequences of these modern prophylaxis approaches. In addition, emerging novel targeted strategies will be described. These GVHD prophylaxis approaches have revolutionized our ability to increase access to transplant and have provided important insights into the biology of GVHD and immune reconstitution.
