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

rationalePost transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare but severe complication. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is considered an important pathogen for PTLD and EBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) load is widely monitored to detect PTLD early. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is rarely reported to be related with PTLD. We report a case of EBV negative (EBV), HBV positive (HBV) diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a patient 12 years after liver transplantation. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSIS: A 52-year-old man complained of worsening appetite, abdominal distension, and pruritus. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) detected a huge retroperitoneal mass and pathology of the fine needle biopsy established the diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Virology showed active hepatitis B viral duplication and EBV DNA was negative.

interventionTreatment modalities for this patient included: reduction and subsequent cessation of immunosuppression; antiviral therapy for HBV with entecavir and adefovir; conventional chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vindesine, and prednisone, followed by radiotherapy. He achieved complete remission (CR) and was kept on entecavir treatment afterwards. OUTCOMES: He has been in remission for 2 years. LESSONS: HBV infection might have played some role in this very late onset EBV PTLD patient. Therefore, HBV serology and HBV load should be monitored during the follow-up of HBV surface antigen positive (HBsAg) transplant recipients and life-long antiviral therapy is required.
