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

Patients with hematological malignancies who survive the first year after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) without relapse have a substantial risk of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and missing predictive markers. The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) predicts endothelial complications and NRM early after allo-SCT. We hypothesized that EASIX assessed 1 year after allo-SCT in survivors who were disease free may predict late NRM. Survivors who were relapse-free at 1 year after allo-SCT were retrospectively studied in 2 independent cohorts (training cohort, n = 610; merged validation cohort, n = 852). EASIX determined 1 year after allo-SCT correlated with the overall survival (OS), NRM, and relapse. Serum endothelial and inflammatory markers were measured in the training cohort and correlated with EASIX-1year, which predicted OS and NRM but not relapse risk in both the training and validation cohorts in univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses. Brier score and c-index analyses validated the univariable EASIX effects. There was no significant interaction between EASIX-1year and incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) on OS. EASIX-1year predicted the outcome irrespective of preexisting comorbidities. Principal causes of NRM in both training and validation cohorts were infections with and without GVHD as well as cardiovascular complications. EASIX-1year correlated with sCD141 and interleukin-18 but not with C-reactive protein, suppressor of tumorigenicity-2, angiopoietin-2, CXCL9, or CXCL8. To our knowledge, EASIX-1year is the first validated predictor of late overall and NRM. Patients who are high risk as defined by EASIX-1year might be considered for intensified surveillance and prophylactic measures.
