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

Antithymocytic globulin (ATG) and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) are frequently used regimens for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. However, there is a lack of data about the difference in regulatory T-cell (Treg) subpopulations between these two regimens. Peripheral blood samples were collected on day +21 following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT), and the Treg subpopulations were analyzed using flow cytometry. The Treg populations were categorized into three distinct subgroups: naïve, effector, and non-suppressive. And we compared overall survival (OS), the cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GVHD, and the relapse rate between the ATG and PTCy groups. We enrolled 45 patients (28 in ATG, 17 in PTCy) in total. In the ATG group, 16 and 12 patients underwent human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched-sibling donor and unrelated donor HSCT, respectively. In the PTCy group, 12 patients underwent haplo-identical HSCT, and 5 patients underwent HLA-matched unrelated donor HSCT. The cumulative incidence of Grade 2-4 acute GVHD was 18.3% in the ATG group compared to 38.1% in the PTCy group (
