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

Introduction: Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is one of the complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Its main pathogenesis is immune dysfunction leading to erythrocytes destruction. Currently, there is no gold standard for PRCA after allo-HSCT. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in hematological and immune system diseases due to their hematopoietic reconstitution and immunomodulatory functions. However, few studies about using UCB and MSCs to treat PRCA after allo-HSCT have been reported. Case presentation: In this report, different cell therapy regimens of UCB and MSCs were used in 3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients diagnosed with PRCA after allo-HSCT. Results showed that all patients achieved significant progress without adverse reactions or complications. Furthermore, Case 1 treated with UCB combined with umbilical cord MSCs (UC-MSCs), and Case 2 treated with 3 doses of UCB mononuclear cells (UCB-MNC) achieved earlier RBC transfusion independence (2 months and 2 weeks after cell therapy, respectively) than Case 3 treated with one unit of UCB (3 months after cell therapy). Conclusion: This report provides cell therapy strategies using UCB/UCB-MNC and UC-MSCs to treat PRCA after allo-HSCT. Our study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of 3 doses of UCB-MNC regimen and UCB combined with UC-MSCs regimen, providing a new treatment option for patients with PRCA after allo-HSCT.
