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

CHRONOS is a multicenter, retrospective, cohort study involving acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) adult patients with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, steroid- and ruxolitinib refractory, who initiated third-line therapy between 30 May 2019 and 30 September 2024. Primary endpoints were all-organ overall response rate (ORR) and GI-specific ORR (GI-ORR) around 28 days after treatment initiation. Secondary endpoints included duration of response, real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) of underlying malignancy, and overall survival (OS). Fifty-nine patients from 16 sites in Europe were included. On Day 28, ORR was 36% (95% CI: 24-49%), GI-ORR was 37% (95% CI: 25-51%); 29% (95% CI: 11-49%) of responders lost response within 30 days, and 52% (95% CI: 29-72%) within 90 days. Median rwPFS and median OS were both 86 days (95% CI: 54-128 days). Median OS was higher in responders than in non-responders (186 versus 45 days). Over the 12-month follow-up period, 41 patients died, mainly due to aGvHD progression (n = 25), and infectious complications (n = 9). Within 3 months, Grade ≥ 2 infectious events occurred in 51% of patients; Grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia in 64% and 32%, respectively. These findings demonstrate limited effectiveness of third-line therapy in this cohort of steroid- and ruxolitinib-refractory aGvHD patients with GI symptoms.
