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 and Aims: Timely diagnosis of intestinal complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy, and cytomegalovirus infection, is essential for appropriate management. This study evaluated whether mucosal T-cell profiling from endoscopic biopsies could support the diagnosis of these post-transplant conditions. Methods: We prospectively analyzed 58 intestinal biopsy specimens from 21 post-HSCT patients. Paired samples were obtained from the stomach and duodenum during upper endoscopy and from the ileum and large intestine during colonoscopy. Lymphocytes were isolated from each specimen and analyzed using flow cytometry. These data were integrated with those of a previously collected cohort (35 patients, 51 samples) for comparative immunophenotypic analysis across histologically defined groups. Results: Duodenal biopsies yielded more lymphocytes than did gastric biopsies (mean ± standard deviation: 532 ± 823 vs 233 ± 392 cells; Conclusion: Mucosal T-cell profiling using endoscopic biopsies is feasible and may aid in the diagnosis of GVHD after HSCT.
