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

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation between female donors and male recipients (female-to-male allo-HCT) is a well-established risk factor for inferior survival outcomes due to a higher incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, a clinical significance of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in the female-to-male allo-HCT has not been elucidated. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated male patients who underwent allo-HCT between 2012 and 2019 in Japan. In the female-to-male allo-HCT cohort (n = 828), the use of ATG was not associated with a decreased risk of GVHD (HR of acute GVHD 0.691 [95% CI: 0.461-1.04], P = 0.074; HR of chronic GVHD 1.06 [95% CI: 0.738-1.52], P = 0.76), but was associated with favorable overall survival (OS) and a decreased risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR of OS 0.603 [95% CI: 0.400-0.909], P = 0.016; HR of NRM 0.506 [95% CI: 0.300-0.856], P = 0.011). The use of ATG in female-to-male allo-HCT resulted in survival outcomes that were almost equivalent to those in the male-to-male allo-HCT group. Therefore, GVHD prophylaxis with ATG might overcome the inferiority of survival outcomes in female-to-male allo-HCT.
