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.

Abstract

backgroundLack of functional CCR5 increases the severity of certain viral infections, including West Nile virus and tickborne encephalitis. In a phase II trial of the investigational CCR5 antagonist vicriviroc (AIDS Clinical Trials Group protocol A5211), 4 lymphomas occurred in study patients who received vicriviroc. Because of the known association between unregulated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) replication and lymphoma in immunocompromised patients, we evaluated whether vicriviroc exposure was associated with lymphoma EBV antigen positivity and/or had an effect on plasma levels of EBV DNA.

methodsClinical findings for all 4 patients enrolled in the A5211 study who developed lymphoma (2 Hodgkin and 2 non-Hodgkin) were reviewed, and tumor specimens were assessed for evidence of ongoing EBV replication. Longitudinal plasma samples from 116 patients in the A5211 study were analyzed, and EBV DNA was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction.

resultsPlasma EBV DNA was not detected in the 2 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma; both patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who had samples tested had EBV DNA levels <3200 copies/mL. One patient with Hodgkin lymphoma had a lymph node core biopsy specimen that was strongly positive for EBV; the other 3 lymphomas were histochemically EBV negative. None of the 116 patients with available samples experienced sustained increases in plasma EBV levels.

conclusionsCCR5 antagonism by vicriviroc treatment in treatment-experienced patients was not associated with reactivation of EBV infection.
