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

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common neoplasm of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although, in the antiretroviral therapy (ART) era, KS is a rare form of presentation of HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The authors present a case of disseminated KS in a 23-year-old male. Just after the diagnosis the patient started ART and then chemotherapy with placlitaxel with clinical improvement. This case is highly representative of the complexity of HIV. The authors aim to bring awareness of an unusual form of presentation of HIV, and recall the severity and the necessity of an early diagnosis and treatment.
