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: The combination of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has been administered for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) in recent years. Varied doses of ATG and PTCy were applied in multiple studies with promising outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 51 consecutive leukemia patients who underwent haplo-HSCT with the joint use of low-dose ATG (27 patients with 7.5 mg/Kg and 24 patients with 5 mg/Kg) and PTCy (29 mg/Kg) for GVHD prophylaxis in our center. The impact of different ATG doses and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) before ATG infusion was also evaluated. Results: The 100-day cumulative incidences (CIs) of grade I-IV, II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD of the whole cohort were 42.9%, 34.7% and 12.2%, respectively. The 2-year CIs of overall and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD were 44.7% and 27.7%, respectively. The 2-year overall survival, disease-free survival, non-relapse mortality and CI of relapse were 66.7%, 54.8%, 25.5% and 19.7%, respectively. Between 7.5 and 5 mg/Kg ATG groups, no significant difference on CIs of acute GVHD was observed. Interestingly, pre-ATG ALC impacted the occurrence of acute GVHD. With a cutoff point of 0.585×109/L, low ALC group showed reduced CIs of grade I-IV (16.7% versus 58.0%, p=0.01), II-IV (16.7% versus 45.1%, p=0.06) and III-IV (0 versus 19.4%, p=0.05) acute GVHD as compared to high ALC group. Conclusions: The results suggested that this low-dose ATG/PTCy regimen was feasible and pre-ATG ALC levels could influence the occurrence of acute GVHD in this regimen.
