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

We describe the case of a 27-year-old male, previously healthy though with a social history notable for recreational cocaine use, who developed bone marrow failure due to aplastic anemia (AA) with associated serous fat atrophy (SFA). After the SFA was corrected with nutritional supplementation, the patient underwent successful allogeneic, haploidentical stem cell transplantation with a regimen designed to treat AA. To our knowledge, this is the first case of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) performed following correction of SFA. Herein we propose our novel hypothesis that SFA, once resolved, is not a contraindication to stem cell transplantation, which we believe adds valuable insight toward an improved understanding of nutrition's role in HSCT. Additionally, the AA is thought to be toxin-induced and specifically levamisole-mediated after exposure to levamisole-adulterated cocaine. We highlight potential connections between levamisole, AA, and SFA and call for further efforts to understand these relationships-especially as the use of levamisole as a cocaine adulterant continues to rise across the globe.
