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

The Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT-CTN) was established in 2001 to conduct large multi-institutional clinical trials addressing important issues towards improving the outcomes of HCT and other cellular therapies. Trials conducted by the network investigating new advances in HCT and cellular therapy not only assess efficacy but require careful capturing and severity assessment of adverse events and toxicities. Adverse infectious events in cancer clinical trials are typically graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). However, there are limitations to this framework as it relates to HCT given the associated immunodeficiency and delayed immune reconstitution. The BMT-CTN Infection Grading System is a monitoring tool developed by the BMT CTN to capture and monitor infectious complications and differs from the CTCAE by its classification of infections based on their potential impact on morbidity and mortality for HCT recipients. Here we offer a report from the BMT CTN Infectious Disease Technical Committee regarding the rationale, development, and revising of BMT-CTN Infection Grading System and future directions as it applies to future clinical trials involving HCT and cellular therapy recipients.
