In vivo measurement of RBC survival in patients with sickle cell disease before or after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Trial report in Blood advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04476277 (Red Cell Half Life Determination in Patients With and Without Sickle Cell Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
abstractStable, mixed-donor-recipient chimerism after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) is sufficient for phenotypic disease reversal, and results from differences in donor/recipient-red blood cell (RBC) survival. Understanding variability and predictors of RBC survival among patients with SCD before and after HSCT is critical for gene therapy research which seeks to generate sufficient corrected hemoglobin to reduce polymerization thereby overcoming the red cell pathology of SCD. This study used biotin labeling of RBCs to determine the lifespan of RBCs in patients with SCD compared with patients who have successfully undergone curative HSCT, participants with sickle cell trait (HbAS), and healthy (HbAA) donors. Twenty participants were included in the analysis (SCD pre-HSCT: N = 6, SCD post-HSCT: N = 5, HbAS: N = 6, and HbAA: N = 3). The average RBC lifespan was significantly shorter for participants with SCD pre-HSCT (64.1 days; range, 35-91) compared with those with SCD post-HSCT (113.4 days; range, 105-119), HbAS (126.0 days; range, 119-147), and HbAA (123.7 days; range, 91-147) (P<.001). RBC lifespan correlated with various hematologic parameters and strongly correlated with the average final fraction of sickled RBCs after deoxygenation (P<.001). No adverse events were attributable to the use of biotin and related procedures. Biotin labeling of RBCs is a safe and feasible methodology to evaluate RBC survival in patients with SCD before and after HSCT. Understanding differences in RBC survival may ultimately guide gene therapy protocols to determine hemoglobin composition required to reverse the SCD phenotype as it relates directly to RBC survival.
