Report of an HIV and HHV-8 negative case of primary effusion lymphoma with idiopathic T4 lymphocytopenia.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Although primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is usually associated with human herpes virus-8/Kaposi sarcoma herpes virus (HHV-8/KSHV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), there are several reports of HHV-8/KSHV and HIV negative cases, mainly in the setting of immunodeficiency. Here, we report the second case of PEL associated with idiopathic T4 lymphocytopenia (ICL), which was HHV-8/KSHV negative, HIV negative and Epstein-Barr virus positive, while no other causative agents for immunodeficiency were documented. Flow cytometry revealed a hyperdiploid and highly mitotic large B-cell population, CD30, EMA, CD66, CD38 and CD71 positive. The malignant lymphoma cells showed atypia with prominent nuclei and basophilic vacuolated cytoplasm, while cytogenetic analysis with fluorescent in situ hybridization showed trisomy 18. The patient was administered R-COP chemotherapy, but no remission was achieved, up to 3 months from diagnosis.
