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

Adult T-cell leukemia is one of the life-threatening diseases that occur in individuals infected with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). Clinical trials of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy are being performed in addition to chemotherapy; however, neither is satisfactory. As a pretreatment for transplantation, anticancer drugs or whole-body irradiation is used to decrease the number of HTLV-1-infected cells, but there are numerous side effects. Therefore, in the present study, using a mouse model of HTLV-1 infection, the long-term survival and number of infected cells in the reservoir organ were investigated in order to determine the effect of γ-irradiation on HTLV-1-infected mice in vivo. There was no improvement in the survival period following γ-irradiation in the γ-irradiated group after HTLV-1 infection when compared with the HTLV-1-infected group. It was also found that the incidence of splenomegaly was ≥80% in the HTLV-1-infected and γ-irradiated group, which was significantly higher than that in the HTLV-1-infected mice. The tissue morphology in the spleen became non-uniform because of γ-rays. Importantly, the number of infected cells in the spleen was increased 4.1-fold in the HTLV-1-infected and γ-irradiated mice compared with that in the HTLV-1-infected mice. Careful consideration might be necessary when using whole-body irradiation in patients with HTLV-1 infection.
