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
Background: Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is frequently administered for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). In patients with low absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) before conditioning, weight-based dosing of ATG may cause overexposure, negatively impacting prognosis. Method: Clinical data of patients with hematological malignancies undergoing haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT) at the Children's Hospital of Soochow University from January 2020 to June 2023 were collected. This study primarily aims to investigate the association between pre-conditioning ALC and clinical outcomes in pediatric acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes patients receiving myeloablative haplo-HSCT. Results: We included 130 patients treated at the Children's Hospital of Soochow University from January 2020 to June 2023. According to the cutoff of 500/μl, patients were divided into high and low ALC groups. Patients in the high ALC group experienced a higher incidence of II-IV acute GVHD (30.2% versus 13.6%, Conclusion: Pre-conditioning ALC was a significant prognostic factor in pediatric patients undergoing myeloablative haplo-HSCT. Further research is needed to explore whether pre-conditioning ALC can serve as a reference for adjusting ATG dosing.
