Successful treatment of steroid-dependent gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease with mesenchymal stromal cells administered more than 100 days after allo-HCT.

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
Administration of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) represents a promising therapy for steroid-resistant acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). However, its efficacy in pediatric patients with steroid-dependent aGVHD remains unclear, given the paucity of studies performed in children. In addition, the duration between the onset of aGVHD and MSC therapy is reportedly critical; a delay in MSC administration negatively impacts overall survival and response rate. Herein, we describe a case of a 14-year-old girl with steroid-dependent aGVHD who was successfully treated with MSCs following a prolonged duration from aGVHD diagnosis. The patient was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia with central nervous system involvement and underwent cord blood transplantation (CBT). She developed severe gastrointestinal aGVHD on day +14 after CBT and was treated with a steroid; however, her aGVHD was repeatedly exacerbated upon tapering the steroid, later complicated by diabetic ketoacidosis. We eventually implemented MSC therapy for steroid-dependent aGVHD on day +109 after CBT. She rapidly responded to therapy, and her aGVHD was ameliorated even with steroid tapering. This case exemplifies the potential role of MSCs in treating pediatric patients with steroid-dependent aGVHD or late aGVHD.
