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.

Abstract

Reducing the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is warranted. Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is the main agent used for GVHD prevention in this setting. It remains unknown whether costimulation blockade can be safely combined with PTCy and enhance its efficacy. We performed a phase 1b-2 clinical trial to examine the combination of PTCy, abatacept, and a short course of tacrolimus (CAST) after peripheral blood haploidentical HSCT. The primary end point was the incidence of grades 2-4 acute GVHD by day +120. The study enrolled 46 patients with a median age of 60 years (range, 18-74 years). The cumulative incidences of grades 2-4 and 3 or 4 acute GVHD were 17.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 9.2-32.9) and 4.4% (95% CI, 1.1-17.1), respectively. With a median follow-up of 15.3 months, the cumulative incidence of 1-year treatment-related mortality was 4.4% (95% CI, 1.1-17.1). The estimated 1-year moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD rate, relapse rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD- and relapse-free survival were 15.9% (95% CI, 8-31.7), 11.7% (95% CI, 5-27.2), 84.1% (95% CI, 73.8-95.7), 85.9% (95% CI, 75.9-97.2), and 66.1% (95% CI, 53.4-81.8), respectively. Toxicities were similar to those expected in patients receiving haploidentical HSCT. This clinical trial showed that the CAST regimen is safe and effective in reducing the rate of grades 2-4 acute GVHD after haploidentical peripheral blood HSCT. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04503616.
