Assessment of the risk of polyomavirus JC reactivation in patients with immune-mediated diseases during long-term treatment with infliximab.
Article in Journal of neurovirology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Polyomavirus JC (JCV) reactivation causing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a main concern during biological therapies. Here, JCV reactivation in patients suffering from immune-mediated diseases after a long-term treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitor infliximab was investigated. Peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMC), plasma and urine samples were obtained from 61 immune-mediated diseases patients treated or not with infliximab in combination with steroid and other immunomodulators and from 20 healthy donors. JCV DNA was transiently detected in 12 PBMC of 40 patients at different doses of infliximab with a higher prevalence than that of the 21 patients untreated. Conversely, a stable JCV positivity in urine of treated and untreated patients was detected. Sequencing the noncoding control region (NCCR), all samples exhibited the archetype structure with few mutations in transcriptional factor binding regions. The consequence of anti-TNF-α treatment on viral persistence was examined monitoring Torquetenovirus viremia and investigating the TNF-α-induced microRNA regulators of transcriptional factors, with a binding site on NCCR. Although infliximab treatment in this study did not affect directly JCV reactivation, further investigation on host factor(s) regulated by it will be of warranty in the understanding the mechanism(s) that may affect viral persistence.
