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

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication that accounts for up to 20% of malignancies after solid organ transplantation. We describe a rare case of isolated PTLD in the adrenal gland occurring 7 months after liver transplant in a patient who developed a primary Epstein-Barr virus infection. He was treated with rituximab and his immunosuppression regimen was minimized. We review the incidence, pathogenesis, presentation, and management of PTLD in the liver-transplant population. Our case highlights the variation in the presentation of PTLD and the importance of a high index of suspicion among the at-risk group.
