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: A major challenge after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for haematologic malignancies is the management of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), which remains associated with poor prognosis despite therapeutic advancements. We conducted a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase I/II clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Cyto-MSC) as an upfront treatment in patients with grade II-IV aGVHD. Methods: In this multicentre trial, 22 grade II-IV aGVHD patients were randomized to receive up to three infusions of Cyto-MSC (n = 14) or placebo (n = 8), alongside standard corticosteroid therapy. The primary endpoints were overall response (OR) at Day 28 and overall survival (OS) at 12 months. The secondary endpoints included correlation between responses at Day 28 with 12-month OS and exploratory analyses of immune cell subsets. Results: No treatment-related adverse events were observed. There were no significant differences between Cyto-MSC and placebo in the OR at Day 28 and 12-month OS. Among patients with severe grade III-IV aGVHD who achieved OR by Day 28, those treated with Cyto-MSC had significantly improved 12-month OS compared to placebo (100% vs 50%, Conclusion: Patients with severe grade III-IV aGVHD, particularly those who respond early or have elevated baseline CD4
