Durable engraftment after pharmacological pre-transplant immune suppression followed by reduced-toxicity myeloablative haploidentical stem cell transplantation in highly HLA-immunized adults with sickle cell disease.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) is the only rapidly available curative treatment modality in patients with severe sickle cell disease (SCD). The development of reduced-toxicity myeloablative conditioning (RT-MAC) regimen and the use of partially matched family donors with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) have widened the access to Allo-SCT. Antibodies against donor-specific HLA (DSA) increase the risk of engraftment failure in HLA mismatched Allo-SCT. We report the results of five patients with SCD, whereas three with DSA, who underwent an unmanipulated haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) after a busulfan-based RT-MAC regimen with PT-Cy. To reduce the risk of engraftment failure, a sequential two courses pharmacological pre-transplant immune suppression (PTIS) phase was added prior to the conditioning regimen. All patients engrafted successfully. The procedure was well tolerated. None of the patients developed acute GVHD, whereas one developed moderate chronic GVHD. After a median follow-up of 5 years (range, 2.2-9), all patients are free of pain with excellent quality of life. Our report shows that Haplo-SCT after a RT-MAC regimen is feasible and safe with stable long-term engraftment and excellent disease control. The risk of graft failure can be abrogated by adding a PTIS phase prior to initiating the conditioning regimen.
