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

Very high-risk neuroblastoma is induction-refractory and often harbors mutations in RAS and/or p53 signaling combined with telomere maintenance mechanisms. Event-free survival is <20% in these children. Patients unable to mobilize sufficient hematopoietic stem cells to harvest for busulfan/melphalan-based high-dose chemotherapy before autologous transplantation are also at high risk for relapse. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT), offering graft-versus-tumor effects and enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, has emerged as a feasible treatment. We report administration of a conditioning regimen combining myeloablative busulfan/melphalan anti-tumor therapy with the immunological advantages of haplo-SCT and GD2-directed antibody-based immunotherapy with dinutuximab beta (DB). A 5-patient pilot cohort was treated with systemic induction (salvage) therapy and local therapy per national guidelines. Prior to busulfan, melphalan, fludarabine and antithymocyte globulin conditioning followed by T/B-cell-depleted haplo-SCT and 6 DB cycles, 2 patients received [
