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

Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) has been well described as a complication following allogeneic stem cell transplantation but has only recently been reported following umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplant. We report the case of a child transplanted with unrelated mismatched UCB for juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia (JCML) who developed EBV-associated PTLD, which was confirmed pathologically, 139 days following stem cell infusion. There was no clinical response to reduction of immune suppression, high-dose acyclovir, or alpha interferon. The patient died 160 days after transplantation. EBV was detected by polymerase chain reaction in the cord blood unit used for transplantation. This case demonstrates that EBV-associated PTLD can occur following mismatched unrelated UCB transplant and may be related to transmission of EBV infection by donor lymphocytes.
