BAFF blockade attenuates acute graft-versus-host disease directly
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: B-cell-activating factor (BAFF) is associated with donor-specific antibodies and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the effects of BAFF on T-cell physiological function have not been fully elucidated in acute GVHD. Methods: We examined the effects of belimumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting BAFF, for the treatment of acute GVHD. We examined the effects of T cells and B cells separately when inducing GVHD in mouse model. Results: Therapeutic functional manipulation of endogenous BAFF can improve acute GVHD during the early post-transplant period. In this study, BAFF was shown to increase the proportions of CD4 Conclusion: This study suggests that BAFF blockade might modulate CD4 +T-cell-induced acute GVHD early after allo-HSCT and the possibility of simultaneously controlling chronic GVHD, which may appear later after allo-HSCT.
