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

objectivesHaematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is a cellular therapy for a group of high-risk children with cancer, immunodeficiency and metabolic disorders. Whilst curative for a child's underlying condition, HCT has significant risks associated, including lung injury. These complications are associated with increased post HCT mortality and require improved methods of risk stratification, diagnosis and treatment.

methodsBiomarkers measured in bronchoalveolar fluid and peripheral blood have been identified for both acute and chronic lung injury post HCT.This review evaluates the current research available investigating the use of these biomarkers to improve clinical care, with a focus on the paediatric cohort.

resultsElevated levels of cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF and TNF were identified as potential predictive biomarkers for the development of post HCT lung disease. The pulmonary microbiome was found to have strong potential as a biomarker pre and post HCT for the development of pulmonary complications. General limitations of the studies identified were study design, retrospective or single centre and not exclusively performed in the paediatric population.

conclusionTo translate biomarker discovery into clinical implementation further research is required, utilising larger cohorts of children in prospective trials to validate these biomarkers and determine how they can be translated into better outcomes for children post HCT.
