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

Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a complication of organ transplantation with high mortality. Predicting response to first-line therapy, reduction of immune suppression, is difficult because of the heterogeneity of lesions and disease behavior. We sought to determine if BCL6 protein expression in PTLD cells is associated with poor outcome. In a cohort of 25 children with PTLD, 9 of the patients' tumor specimens were positive for BCL6 protein expression. Eight of 13 monomorphic lesions were BCL6 positive, compared with 1 of 11 evaluable polymorphic lesions (P=0.01). Only 1 of the patients with BCL6 expression responded to reduced immune suppression (P=0.19). Recipients of heart transplants who developed PTLD had reduced overall survival rates compared with recipients of other organ transplants who developed PTLD (P=0.04).
