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

abstractHematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a potentially fatal multisystem complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation for which there is no approved treatment. In a single-arm study (NCT02222545), narsoplimab treatment for TA-TMA demonstrated a median overall survival (OS) of 274 days from date of diagnosis. Here, we compare OS observed in 2 cohorts treated with narsoplimab to OS in a well-matched external control to test survival benefit in patients with high-risk TA-TMA. OS in patients (aged ≥16 years) with high-risk TA-TMA treated with narsoplimab in a single-arm, open-label study (NCT02222545) or in the narsoplimab expanded access program (EAP; NCT04247906) was compared with OS in a control group with high-risk TA-TMA from the Kyoto Stem Cell Transplantation Group (KSCTG) registry. Narsoplimab-treated patients in the single-arm study (N = 28) had a fourfold reduction in risk of mortality compared with patients from the KSCTG registry (N = 111; hazard ratio [HR], 0.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19, 0.34; P < .0001). Similarly, in high-risk patients treated with narsoplimab in the EAP (N = 49), mortality risk was significantly lower than among high-risk patients from the KSCTG registry (N = 121; HR 0.38; 95% CI 0.28, 0.51; P < .0001). When narsoplimab-treated patients from the single-arm study and the EAP (N = 77) were compared with KSCTG patients, the HR for mortality was 0.28 (95% CI, 0.22, 0.37; P < .0001). In conclusion, in patients with high-risk TA-TMA, narsoplimab treatment significantly reduced mortality relative to a well-matched external control group who did not receive narsoplimab. These results support narsoplimab as a potential therapeutic option for TA-TMA.
