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

Haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) expands donor availability for cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD). However, conventional graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis based on calcineurin inhibitors like ciclosporin (CsA) poses a potential neurotoxicity risk that may exacerbate neurological injury. We retrospectively analysed 26 cALD patients who underwent haplo-HSCT with an optimized ciclosporin-free GVHD prophylaxis regimen consisting of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG; 4 mg/kg), post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and mycophenolate mofetil. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment each occurred at a median of 15 days (ranges, 13-26 and 9-33 days respectively). The cumulative incidence (CI) of grades II-IV acute GVHD by day 100 was 18.49% ± 8.37%, and the 3-year CI of moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD was 9.32% ± 6.28%. After a median follow-up of 29 months, overall survival was 90.4% ± 6.6% and major functional disability-free survival was 69.0% ± 9.1%. Post-transplantation, plasma C26:0 levels and the C24:0/C22:0 and C26:0/C22:0 ratios were markedly reduced. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at a mean of 7.3 ± 5.9 months post-HSCT showed largely preserved LOES scores without significant progression. Our experience supports the safety and efficacy of this optimized ciclosporin-free haplo-HSCT approach for patients with cALD, warranting further validation in prospective studies.
