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

Immune-mediated cytopenias (IMCs) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality, presenting a major therapeutic obstacle. Here, we report a case of a pediatric patient with acquired aplastic anemia. Nine months after HSCT, this patient developed severe, refractory hemolytic anemia and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (IMT). Despite treatment with corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), rituximab, along with avatrombopag, romiplostim, acetylcysteine, and decitabine, the patient's platelet count showed no signs of improvement. Subsequently, daratumumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD38, was administered. This treatment induced a rapid and sustained response. Four months after initial daratumumab administration, the percentage of CD38-positive immune cells in the patient's peripheral blood increased, which was concurrent with another decline in platelet levels. After re-initiating daratumumab therapy, the patient's platelet count returned to normal levels. The only significant adverse effect noted was a delayed recovery of humoral immunity. Daratumumab, by targeting antibody-producing plasma cells, shows promise as a therapeutic alternative for refractory IMCs in post-HSCT patients.
