Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for patients with treatment-refractory Crohn's Disease.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01570348 (Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Patients With Treatment-Refractory Crohn's Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background & aims: Durable remissions of Crohn's Disease (CD) have followed myeloablative conditioning therapy and allogeneic marrow transplantation. For patients with treatment-refractory disease, we used reduced-intensity conditioning to minimize toxicity, marrow from donors with low Polygenic Risk Scores for CD as cell sources, and protracted immune suppression to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Our aim was to achieve durable CD remissions while minimizing transplant-related complications. Methods: DNA from patients and their HLA-matched unrelated donors was genotyped and Polygenic Risk Scores calculated. Donor marrow was infused following non-myeloablative conditioning. Patient symptoms and endoscopic findings were documented at intervals after transplant. Results: We screened 807 patients, 143 of whom met eligibility criteria; 2 patients received allografts. Patient 1 had multiple complications and died at day 332 from respiratory failure. Patient 2 had resolution of CD symptoms until day 178 when CD recurred, associated with persistent host chimerism in both peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa. Withdrawal of immune suppression was followed by dominant donor immune chimerism in peripheral blood and resolution of CD findings. Over time, mucosal T-cells became donor-dominant. At 5 years after allografting, Patient 2 remained off all medications but had mild symptoms related to a jejunal stricture that required stricturoplasty at 6 years. At 8 years, she remains stable off medications. Conclusions: The kinetics of immunologic chimerism after allogeneic marrow transplantation for CD patients depends on the intensity of the conditioning regimen and the magnitude of immune suppression. One patient achieved durable improvement of her previously refractory CD only after establishing donor immunologic chimerism in intestinal mucosa. Her course provides proof-of-principal for allografting as a potential treatment for refractory CD, but an immunoablative conditioning regimen should be considered for future studies.(ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01570348).
