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

The authors studied typical Hodgkin's disease along with the nodular, lymphocyte predominance subtype by both the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization for evidence of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). By PCR, EBV DNA was detected in 12/23 cases of typical Hodgkin's disease and 2/13 cases of the nodular, lymphocyte predominance subtype. EBV RNA was detected by in situ hybridization studies within Reed-Sternberg cells and variants in 11/23 cases of typical Hodgkin's disease and 0/13 cases of nodular, lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease. Other cells positive for EBV, identified as both B and T cells in double-labeling immunohistochemical/in situ hybridization studies, were found in 20/23 cases of typical Hodgkin's disease, 9/13 cases of nodular, lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease, 4/6 cases of progressive transformation of germinal centers, and 7/10 normal lymphoid tissues. It is concluded that EBV is significantly associated with Reed-Sternberg cells in approximately one-half cases of typical Hodgkin's disease but not in the nodular, lymphocyte predominance subtype. EBV-infected B and T cells are also present in a majority of cases of Hodgkin's disease as well as in reactive conditions.
