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

backgroundPost-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is the most common malignant tumor that occurs after kidney transplantation in children, and is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of PTLD that occurred in a 17-year-old female patient at 5 mo post-transplant. The first symptom was abdominal pain accompanied by fever, nausea, and vomiting. EBV-associated monomorphic PTLD with multiple abdominal nodules was diagnosed by pathology, clinical manifestations, imaging results, and the presence of EB-DNA. After successful treatment with rituximab, the abdominal nodules in the spleen and liver disappeared.

conclusionEarly pathological biopsy to confirm the diagnosis is critical to treatment and prognosis. Reducing immunosuppression and rituximab therapy are effective methods for treating PTLD, but need to be initiated as early as possible.
