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.

Abstract

Whether the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are associated with development of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, is unclear. We assessed if the levels of these vitamins were associated with development of GvHD during the first year after transplantation using data from a two-armed randomized nutritional intervention trial. Changes in plasma levels during 1-year follow-up were analyzed using a linear mixed model for repeated measurements. Vitamin A, D, E, and K levels changed significantly the first year in both study arms (p < 0.001). Higher levels of vitamin E over time were associated with less acute GvHD grades 3-4 (OR = 0.997, 95% CI: (0.994, 0.999), p = 0.017). No associations were found with vitamin A, D, E and K levels and chronic GvHD. Multivariable analysis adjusted for treatment group, age, pre-transplant vitamin level and risk factors for GvHD did not change the results. Six weeks post-transplantation, higher levels of vitamin E were associated with less acute GvHD grades 3-4, (p = 0.012). In conclusion, we found an association between higher levels of vitamin E over time and less severe acute GvHD. Whether this reflects a causal relationship warrants further study.
