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

Background: Immunocompromised individuals are at major risk for severe infectious complications. This is particularly relevant in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) - a treatment modality that has proven curative for a range of malignant and nonmalignant hematological diseases. However, transplant-associated immune suppression leaves patients susceptible to infectious complications from viruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus (AdV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and BK virus (BKV). While pharmacological agents are available to prevent and/or treat some of these viruses, they can be associated with significant toxicities and are often ineffective. To circumvent these issues, several groups have explored the clinical potential of adoptively transferred virus-specific T cells (VSTs) to prevent/treat virus-associated complications after allo-HCT or solid organ transplantation (SOT) and this review will provide an overview of these endeavors. Summary: This review will focus on the progress that has been made over the past 30 years in the field of nonengineered VST manufacturing technologies and will summarize the clinical experience with VSTs, primarily in the posttransplant setting. Key Messages: Over the last 3 decades, adoptively transferred VSTs - both HCT donor and third party-derived - have been tested in numerous single and multicenter clinical trials and have unequivocally proven to be safe and associated with clinical activity.
