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 is an extremely fatal complication arising in transplant recipients as a side effect of immunosuppression. PTLDs are seen after both solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplants though the incidence is much higher in the former. Primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection or reactivation due to a state of immune dysregulation along with intensity of immunosuppression used are of paramount importance in pathogenesis of PTLD. EBV associated PTLDs occur early in the post transplant period whereas late onset lymphomas are usually EBV negative. The uncontrolled B cell proliferation can create a spectrum of histological patterns from nondestructive lesions to destructive polymorphic or more aggressive monomorphic PTLDs. Early detection of seropositivity by serial monitoring in the recipient can prevent PTLD development by starting pre-emptive therapy. The mainstay treatment in established cases remains reduction of immunosuppression. Chemotherapeutic and immunomodulatory agents are added sequentially based on the type of PTLD and based on its response to initial therapy. Despite various treatment options available, the morbidity remains high and achieving state of disease remission without causing graft rejection can be quite challenging. Hence, a better understanding in pathobiology of EBV+ versus EBV- PTLDS may help prevent lymphomagenesis in transplant recipients.
