Case Series Using Salvage Haplo-Identical Stem Cells for Secondary Transplantation.

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
In order to expand the donor pool and accessibility of the transplant procedure, it was necessary to introduce haplo-identical stem cell transplants in the Fundeni Clinical Institute from 2015. Even if the Romanian population is an ethnically compact white population, many of the patients referred for bone marrow transplant lack a suitable donor. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant from a haplo-identical donor is an alternative option for those patients without an HLA (Human Leucocyte Antigen)-matched donor (sibling or matched unrelated). This procedure was used also as a salvage option for those who experienced engraftment failure or the rejection of the first stem cell graft. In this case series, we present three such cases, with a haplo-transplant used as a salvage protocol (after an engraftment failure or rejection of the first transplanted cells). The patients we present were diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome), MDS-RAEB 2 (myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory anemia with excess blasts 2), and SAA (severe aplastic anemia). In two of the three cases, the engraftment failure may have been due to the conditioning Fludarabine/Busulfan/Cyclophosphamide (Flu/Bu/CFA) used, combined with marrow grafts. In all three cases, the second transplant was of haplo-identical peripheral blood stem cells using Melphalan/Fludarabine (Mel/Flu) conditioning, the cells engrafted properly and the patients experienced complete chimerism, and two of them are alive with an excellent quality of life.
