Rapid tapering of cyclosporine after allogeneic transplantation for high-risk hematological malignancies.

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
Rapid tapering of cyclosporine (CsA) in the early phase after allogeneic transplantation may induce a potent graft-versus-leukemia/lymphoma (GVL) effect. We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of patients with high-risk hematological malignancies who underwent their first transplantation at our institution. The blood CsA concentration was maintained at around 300 ng/ml. Our planned schedule for tapering CsA in patients without graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or with limited GVHD was to reduce the dose by 10% per week starting from day 30 for related HSCT or from day 50 for unrelated HSCT. In total, we began tapering CsA in 36, and classified them into 2 an "On-schedule group" or "Delayed group" based on the timing of starting tapering. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD overall were 33.8% and 39.4% (P = 0.746) in the On-schedule and Delayed groups. The On-schedule group showed no significant difference in non-relapse mortality, but showed a trend toward a higher relapse rate, resulting in significantly worse overall survival (55.6% vs 72.2% at 1y, P = 0.025) and worse disease-free survival (38.9% vs 66.7% at 1y, P = 0.059). These findings suggest that early CsA tapering after HSCT in high-risk patients was not effective.
