Trial report in Blood advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03225417 (Phase Ib/II Trial to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Oral Ixazomib in the Prophylaxis of Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease.), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

abstractChronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is the leading cause of long-term morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We hypothesize that it is possible to decrease its risk by manipulating the immune response in late phases of transplantation. We performed a prospective randomized trial including 73 patients. Patients in the treatment arm received 4 mg of ixazomib (IXZ) every 28 days from day +100. With a median follow-up of 24 months, the cumulative incidence of moderate/severe cGVHD in the IXZ vs control groups at 1 and 2 years were: 3.23% vs 30.2% (hazard ratio [HR], 0.089; P = .02) and 13% vs 43% (HR, 0.23; P = .01), respectively. Estimates for cGVHD and relapse-free survival at 2 years were 81% for IXZ and 49% for the control group (HR, 0.30). Increased STAT3 and p38 phosphorylation in T cells, and higher proportion of B cells that have undergone immunoglobulin isotype switching and circulating plasma cells on day +180 were associated with a significantly higher risk of developing moderate/severe cGVHD. The administration of IXZ decreases the risk of moderate/severe cGVHD. It is possible to identify biological patterns by flow cytometry to predict the risk of cGVHD. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03225417.
