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

Stem cell transplantation (SCT), including autologous and allogeneic approaches, is a potentially curative therapy for various hematologic malignancies and selected non-malignant disorders. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is an established curative treatment for hematologic malignancies, including Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), and Multiple Myeloma (MM), but infectious complications remain a major challenge. Vaccination is an essential strategy to reduce the risk of vaccine-preventable infections following transplant. This case series describes immunocompromised patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies who underwent ASCT and were referred for post-transplant immunization. We present a catch-up and COVID-19 vaccination schedule using minimum recommended intervals, with emphasis on immunocompromised hosts and post-ASCT maintenance therapies. Post-ASCT maintenance therapies such as rituximab may impair humoral responses and reduce vaccine immunogenicity; however, current guidelines support prioritized use of inactivated vaccines, including pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV-13) followed by Pneumococcal Polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV-23) and annual inactivated influenza vaccination. Vaccination timing should consider B-cell-depleting therapies to optimize immune response, while live attenuated vaccines remain contraindicated during ongoing immunosuppression. Vaccines were well tolerated, with only mild injection-site reactions reported.
