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

Inappropriate discontinuation of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can lead to the development of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and necessitate the reintroduction of ISD. However, only a few studies have compared the discontinuation rates of secondary steroid for cGVHD between different stem cell sources. We retrospectively evaluated 191 patients who underwent HCT at our institution to determine the discontinuation rates of secondary steroids for cGVHD. 50 patients (26.7%) received secondary steroid for cGVHD. After additional steroid for cGVHD, the 2-year cumulative steroid discontinuation rates were 50.0%, 0%, 8.3%, 44.0%, and 40.0% for MSD, uPBSC, uBM, UCB, PTCy-haplo, respectively (P = 0.0313). Patients transplanted with uBM or uPBSC had significantly lower cumulative discontinuation rates of additional steroids for cGVHD compared to those transplanted with other stem cell sources (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that the cumulative steroid discontinuation rate was significantly lower in uPBSC or uBM group compared to in MSD group (uPBSC, HR, 0.10; P = 0.024, uBM, HR, 0.13; P = 0.007). Therefore, careful steroid reduction or additional treatment for cGVHD is necessary in patients transplanted with uBM and uPBSC.
