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

Traditional weight-based dosing results in variable rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) clearance, delaying CD4+Tcell-immune-reconstitution (CD4 + IR) and impacting outcomes. In a retrospective pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis of patients undergoing first T-replete hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), enrolled on BMT CTN 1202, we estimated post-HCT rATG-exposures as area under the curve (arbitrary unit per day/milliliter [AUxd/mL]) using a validated pharmacokinetic-model. Results were compared to patients who did not receive rATG. Previously defined post-HCT rATG-exposure groups: A: < 30, B:30-55 and C: ≥ 55 AUxd/mL were correlated with outcomes of interest using cox-proportional-hazard and cause-specific-hazards models. 325 patients (median age 51 years) were included: 228 received rATG. Median post-HCT rATG-exposure was 44.1 (Range 6.2-125.0). Among patients who received rATG, higher exposure correlated with worse five-year overall survival (OS) (no-ATG:51%; group A:67%; B:49%; C:34%, p = 0.01), higher five-year relapse incidence (no-ATG:31%; A:27%; B: 42%; C: 58%, p < 0.001) and lower CD4 + IR (no-ATG:64%; A:73%; B:51%; C:19%, p = 0.001). Grade 2-4 acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) rates were: no-ATG:40% ; A:26%, B:39%, C:35%, (p = 0.44). Any rATG-exposure was associated with lower moderate/severe chronic GVHD (HR:0.63, p = 0.025). Low post-HCT rATG-exposure ( < 30AUxd/mL) but not absent correlated with higher OS, lower relapse, and lower GVHD related deaths. Model-based-dosing could be used to target optimal post-HCT rATG-exposure and improve HCT outcomes.
