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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the γ herpesvirus subfamily. It is widely spread, potentially oncogenic and has been studied in different human cancers such as gastric carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. EBV replicates in the oral epithelium, and resting B lymphocytes trafficking through the pharynx develop a latent infection in which only EBV genes related to the B cell growth program are expressed: LMP1, -2a/b, BARTs, EBERs and EBNAs. EBNA1 binds a specific DNA sequence in the viral genome responsible for episome replication, segregation and persistence of the viral genome, and is involved in p53 degradation and oncogenesis. It is also involved in p53 degradation and oncogenesis. Since EBV infection is associated with the progression of malignancy in lymphoma, we used EBNA1-based PCR to determine the frequency of EBV infection in lymphoma specimens from patients with different types of lymphomas. Biopsies from lymphoma patients obtained from National Cancer Institute, Misurata and Tripoli Medical Centre (Libya) showed the presence of EBV in 31 of 40 cases (77%). EBV infection rates did not differ significantly between Hodgkin's lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The rates did not vary significantly between the sexes or age groups.
