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

Significant advances in our understanding of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and its causative agent, JC virus, have been made since PML was first described 50 years ago. However, immune reconstitution remains the only proven, effective therapy in this devastating central nervous system disorder. Early diagnosis and adjustments of immune suppressants and modulator agents are critical in managing PML in HIV-negative patients. This review summarizes recent advances in our understanding of PML in HIV-uninfected patients in oncology, rheumatology, organ transplantation, and idiopathic immune deficiency and in association with novel therapeutics. Brain MRI data from our case series of brain biopsy-proven HIV-negative PML patients indicate the presence of an inflammatory/immune reaction in brain tissues, which was confirmed by immunocytologic analysis. Future studies to better understand PML pathogenesis in HIV-negative individuals may help uncover new potential therapeutic targets and improve PML outcomes.
