Intravenous Vitamin C Supplementation in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients: Salutary Impact on Clinical Outcomes.
Article in Research square, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intravenous (IV) vitamin C improves organ function and reduces inflammation in sepsis, an inflammatory state like the post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) milieu. The safety and efficacy of parenteral vitamin C after allogeneic HCT were evaluated in a phase I/II trial. Clinical outcomes were compared with a propensity score - matched historical control. Methods: Patients with advanced hematologic malignancies received IV vitamin C, 50mg/kg/d, divided into 3 doses given on days 1-14 after HCT, followed by 500 mg bid oral from day 15 until 6 months post-SCT. Results: 55 patients received IV vitamin C. All patients were deficient in vitamin C at day 0. Vitamin C recipients had lower non-relapse mortality (NRM) (p = 0.07) and improved survival compared to historical controls (p=0.06), with no attributable grade 3 and 4 toxicities. Vitamin C recipients had similar relapse rate and acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) (p=0.35), but lower severe chronic GVHD (p=0.35). Patients with myeloid malignancies had improved survival (p=0.02) and NRM (p=0.009), as well as chronic GVHD, with similar relapse rates compared to controls. Conclusions: In patients undergoing allogeneic HCT the administration of IV vitamin C is safe and reduces non-relapse mortality and chronic GVHD improving overall survival.
