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

backgroundHydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder (HV-LPD) is a cutaneous form of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, which occurs mainly in children in Latin America and Asia. It can progress to systemic lymphoma. However, prognostic factors and treatment remain unclear.

methodsThis retrospective study reviewed the clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypical features, and clinical treatment of 19 patients with HV-LPD.

resultsAll 19 patients had skin lesions in the face, extremities, or areas unexposed to the sun, including edema, blistering, ulceration, and scarring. The course was slowly progressive and relapsing. Histopathology showed an atypical lymphocytic infiltrate in the dermis and/or subcutaneous tissue. The lesions had a cytotoxic T/NK-cell immunophenotype. Among 19 patients, 7 (37%) exhibited CD4+ T cells, 5 (26%) exhibited CD8+ T cells, and 7 (37%) exhibited CD56+ cells. Of 12 cases with a T-cell phenotype, molecular analyses demonstrated that 7 had monoclonal rearrangements in the T-cell receptor genes. Three cases had an NK-cell phenotype and had polyclonal rearrangements in the TCR genes. All cases were associated with EBV infections. Among 19 patients, 9 (47.4%) received chemotherapy. Only one patient received allogeneic transplantation and EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte treatment after chemotherapy. That patient was the only one alive without disease at the latest follow up. Nine patients died of systemic lymphoma with disease progression, indicating irreversible process.

conclusionsThis study confirmed that HV-LPD is a broad-spectrum EBV+ lymphoproliferative disorder. It progressed to EBV+ systemic T/NK lymphoma, although some patients had a more indolent, chronic course. Cytopenia, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, destructive-multiorgan involvement, and older age were poor prognostic factors. Only allogeneic transplantation was curative.
