A Cold Case: Cold Agglutinin Disease Complicating Stem Cell Transplant.
Article in Case reports in transplantation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (HCTs) offer a curative option for patients with life-threatening hematologic diseases. While stem cell infusion reactions are common, they are generally not severe and typically do not affect engraftment. We present a rare case of isolated secondary cold agglutinin syndrome (CAS) in a donor, complicating the graft infusion and causing poor graft function (PGF) in a recipient. The 27-year-old recipient, diagnosed with refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), underwent a 9/10 HLA-mismatched unrelated peripheral blood stem cell transplant. The donor developed an upper respiratory infection 1 week before the donation, and cold agglutinin antibodies were detected in the donor's stem cell product. During infusion, the patient developed fever, tachycardia, and hypertension. Despite initial neutrophil engraftment and full donor chimerism, the patient remained transfusion-dependent, indicating PGF. A subsequent CD34-selected stem cell boost from the same donor on Day +108 posttransplant, confirmed to be CAS-negative, resulted in successful platelet engraftment and recovery. This case highlights the potential complications of CAS in donors, emphasizing the need for comprehensive donor evaluation and management strategies to mitigate adverse effects on recipients.
