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

Human γ-herpesviruses contain Epstein Barr virus (EBV), the first human tumor virus that was identified in man, and Kaposi Sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV), one of the most recently identified human oncogenic pathogens. Both of these have co-evolved with humans to cause tumors only in a minority of infected individuals, despite their exquisite ability to establish persistent infections. In this review we will summarize the fine-tuned balance between immune responses, immune escape and cellular transformation by these viruses, which results in life-long persistent, but asymptomatic infection with immune control in most virus carriers. A detailed understanding of this balance is required to immunotherapeutically reinstall it in patients that suffer from EBV and KSHV associated malignancies.
