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

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are at risk for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated, post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). Studies have suggested that early treatment may improve the outcome of patients with PTLD. Thus, significant attention has been focused on PCR-based approaches for preemptive (i.e., prior to clinical presentation) diagnosis. Reports from several transplant centers have demonstrated that HSCT recipients with PTLD generally have higher concentrations of EBV DNA in the peripheral blood than patients without PTLD. However, the PCR values of patients with PTLD typically span multiple orders of magnitude and overlap significantly with values from patients without PTLD. Thus, questions remain about the sensitivity and predictive value of these assays. Preemptive strategies using rituximab and/or EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes have been evaluated in patients with elevated EBV viral loads. We review the current literature, discuss our institutional experience and identify several areas of future research that could improve the diagnosis and treatment of this life-threatening disorder in HSCT recipients.
