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

High-dose post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after HLA-matched allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in adults with hematologic malignancies is standard of care when combined with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) after reduced intensity conditioning (RIC). However, use of PTCy after HLA-matched HCT in pediatrics is not well described. To show that PTCy allows for successful engraftment, survival, and low rates of GVHD, a retrospective analysis of patients ≤21 years treated at Johns Hopkins (n = 22) who underwent HLA-matched related (MSD, 73%) or unrelated HCT (MUD, 27%) between 2013 and 2023 was performed. GVHD prophylaxis included PTCy alone (n = 15) or a priori with tacrolimus and MMF for peripheral blood stem cell grafts (n = 5) and/or RIC (Flu/Cy/200cGy TBI, n = 4). Median patient age was 16.5 years and diagnoses included AML [CR1 = 4, CR≥2 = 4; minimal residual disease (MRD) = 2], ALL [CR1 = 4, CR≥2 = 6; MRD = 2], and MDS [1 treated, 3 untreated]. Evaluable patients had full donor chimerism at day +60. Median time to neutrophil and platelet recovery was 18 and 19.5 days. Two developed acute GVHD (aGVHD) Gr IV after myeloablative MUD bone marrow HCT with PTCy alone and both died; no chronic GVHD (cGVHD). Cumulative incidence of relapse at 3y was 48%, 38% for MRD
