Reduced Dose of Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide with Tacrolimus for the Prevention of Graft-versus-Host Disease in HLA-Matched Donor Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplants: A Prospective Pilot Study.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
PTCY 50 mg/kg/day on days +3/+4 is an excellent strategy to prevent GVHD. However, its use is associated with adverse outcomes such as delayed engraftment, increased risk of infection, and cardiac complications. This pilot study evaluates the efficacy and toxicity of a reduced dose of PTCY (40 mg/kg/day) combined with tacrolimus in 22 peripheral blood HLA-matched alloHSCT patients. At day +100, the cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD were 18.2% and 4.5%, respectively. No grade IV acute GVHD or steroid-refractory disease was observed. The cumulative incidences of all-grade and moderate-severe chronic GVHD at 1-year were 11.4% and 6.4%, respectively. No patient died from transplant-related complications. Two-year OS and RFS were 77.1% and 58.3%, respectively. All patients engrafted, with neutrophil and platelet recovery occurring at a median of 15 (IQR 14-16) and 16 days (IQR 12-23), respectively. The cumulative incidences of bloodstream bacterial infections, polyomavirus BK hemorrhagic cystitis, HHV6 reactivation, CMV reactivation, and fungal infections were 13.6%, 9.1%, 9.1%, 4.6%, and 6%, respectively. Only one early cardiac event was observed. These results suggest that PTCY 40 mg/kg/day on a +3/+4 schedule provides adequate immunosuppression to allow for engraftment and prevent clinically significant GVHD with a low toxicity profile.
