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), a member of the herpes virus family, is a causative agent for infectious mononucleosis in young adults. It has an asymptomatic and subclinical distribution in about 90% to 95% of the world population based on seropositivity. EBV is associated with various lymphomas, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and in immunocompromised states can give rise to aggressive lymphoproliferative disorders. Symptomatic patients mostly present with mild hepatitis, rash, oral symptoms, lymphadenopathy, and generalized malaise. Recently with the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019) pandemic, hepatitis has been found to be related to acute EBV and cytomegalovirus reactivation versus acute infection in the absence of other major causes. We describe a case of EBV coinfection in a patient with resolving mild COVID-19 infection.
