Seroindeterminate HTLV-1 prevalence and characteristics in blood donors in Taiwan.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is commonly accepted as the cause of adult T-cell leukemia and tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-1-associated myelopathy. Screening of blood donors for HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 was implemented in Taiwan in February 1996. From February 1996 to December 1998, we investigated the seroprevalence of HTLV-1 in all unpaid blood donors in Taiwan. Of 2,578,238 donors in all 6 blood centers, 1793 (0.06%) were seropositive for HTLV-1, and 605 (0.023%) were indeterminate for HTLV-1. Among these indeterminate donors, 359 (59.3%) were male. The most common HTLV-1-indeterminate pattern by Western blot in our study was GD21 alone (34.6%) followed by p24 alone (7.8%), p53 alone (6.5%), and gp46 + GD21 (6.0%). That GD21 pattern was found in 59.6% of indeterminate results in this study suggested that the majority of nonspecific enzyme immunoassay reactions were probably precipitated by viral envelop glycoprotein GD21.
