Decreasing the steroid rapidly may help to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with intestinal steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease receiving basiliximab treatment.

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
Intestinal steroid refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD) is the major cause of mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify the relationship between different steroid decreasing velocity and therapeutic response in patients with intestinal SR-aGVHD receiving basiliximab treatment, and also aimed to propose a reasonable steroid decreasing regimen for these patients. The median time for steroid dose decreasing to the 50% of initial dose and decreasing to the low-dose steroid for patients achieving ORR was 5 days and 12 days, respectively, which was both shorter than patients without achieving ORR. The ORR, NRM and survival in rapid and medium steroid decreasing group were all better than slow group. The cumulative incidence of ORR at any time was 90.4%, 78.1% and 62.3%, respectively, in rapid, medium, and slow group. The cumulative incidence of NRM at 1 year after basiliximab treatment was 18.7% (95% CI 11.3%-26.1%), 22.8% (95% CI 14.2%-31.4%) and 32.8% (95% CI 24.1%-41.5%), respectively, in rapid, medium, and slow group. The probability of OS at 1 year after basiliximab treatment was 76.9% (95% CI 68.9%-84.9%), 72.7% (95% CI 63.7%-81.7%), and 62.3% (95% CI 53.5%-71.1%), respectively, in rapid, medium, and slow group. Hence, it was helpful to decrease steroid to the 50% of initial dose ≤ 5 days and to the low-dose steroid ≤ 12 days after basiliximab treatment for intestinal SR-aGVHD patients, which may also be the reasonable steroid decrease protocol for these patients.
