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

backgroundAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is curative for hematologic malignancies, yet diarrhea after allo-HSCT-mainly due to gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GI-GVHD) or viral infection-remains a major clinical challenge. Early etiological differentiation is essential for appropriate management.

aimsThis study aimed to develop an immune-based predictive model by dynamically monitoring lymphocyte subsets and cytokines after allo-HSCT.

resultsAmong 232 patients who underwent allo-HSCT at Beijing Lu Daopei Hospital between 2021 and 2024, 58 developed biopsy-confirmed post-transplant (post-HSCT) diarrhea, comprising 34 cases of GI-GVHD and 24 cases of viral enteritis. Immune profiles were measured one week prior to diarrhea onset, as well as at weeks 4 and 5 post-HSCT. Predictive features were selected using LASSO and logistic regression to construct single- and multi-time-point models, which were validated using nomogram, calibration, and decision curve analyses. At the pre-diarrhea point, patients with aGVHD had higher Reg3α, CD3⁺T%, CD8⁺T%, naive CD4⁺/CD4⁺T%, and Th2/CD4⁺T%, but lower NK count and NK% (all P < 0.05). The single-time-point model achieved good discrimination (AUC = 0.799), while the multi-time-point model integrating nine dynamic parameters showed superior accuracy (AUC = 0.908).

conclusionsDynamic immune profiling may aid in the early distinction between GI-GVHD and viral enteritis, highlighting its potential as a tool for immunological surveillance to guide intervention after allo-HSCT.
