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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects various types of lymphocytes and is associated with not only B cell-origin lymphoma, but also T or natural killer cell lymphoproliferative diseases (T/NK LPD). Recently, we established a novel assay to identify EBV-infected cells using FISH. Using this assay, dual staining with antibodies to both surface antigens and an EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) probe can be performed. In the present study, we applied this recently developed FISH assay to EBV-associated T/NK LPD to confirm its diagnostic utility. Using FISH, we prospectively analyzed peripheral blood from patients with suspected EBV-associated T/NK LPD. The results were compared with those obtained using immunobead sorting followed by quantitative PCR. In all, 26 patients were included study. Using FISH, 0.15-67.0% of peripheral blood lymphocytes were found to be positive for EBER. Dual staining was used to determine EBER-positive cell phenotypes in 23 of 26 subjects (88.5%). In five of seven patients with hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoma (an EBV-positive cutaneous T cell lymphoma), EBER-positive cells were identified as CD3(+) CD4(-) CD8(-) TCRγδ(+) T cells. Furthermore, in a 25-year-old male patient with systemic EBV-positive T cell LPD, two lymphocyte lineages were positive for EBER: CD4(+) CD8(-) and CD4(-) CD8(+) T cells. Thus, we confirmed that our newly developed assay is useful for quantifying and characterizing EBV-infected lymphocytes in EBV-associated T/NK LPD and that it can be used not only to complement the pathological diagnosis, but also to clarify the pathogenesis and to expand the spectrum of EBV-associated diseases.
