Epstein-Barr virus infection in ulcerative colitis: a clinicopathologic study from a Chinese area.
Article in Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
backgroundOpportunistic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) has attracted increasing attention. This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcomes of UC with intestinal EBV infection and to explore the predictive value of blood EBV DNA for the presence of EBV in the intestine.
methodsBoth peripheral blood and intestinal biopsies from 92 consecutive UC inpatients were included in this study. Normal colonic mucosal tissues from 20 colon cancer patients were used as controls. EBV testing and assessment were performed by EBV-DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR), EBV-encoded small RNA
resultsA total of 36 patients (39.1%) had UC with superimposed EBV colitis [EBER greater than 2/high-power field (HPF)]. EBER counts and disease activity were significantly correlated (
conclusionThe EBER count is positively correlated with disease activity. The best cut-off point for outcome prediction is 2.5/HPF. A high EBV viremia load may effectively predict EBV presence in the colonic mucosa.
