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

Empirical evidence of the association of cancer with parasitic and viral infectious agents has been recognized earlier. Today, viruses are thought to account for about 10% of all cancers and they take a central place in experimental cancer research. This area has expanded tremendously with modern molecular biology techniques, the knowledge of gene expression, cellular enzyme and mechanisms of transformation. However, the last proof of causality is not yet available. Serologic, virologic, experimental and protective evidence is needed to confirm the assumptions in this rapidly developing field of research. The prevention of hepato-cellular carcinoma by effective vaccines now available is, in the opinion of the WHO, at least theoretically possible.
