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

Adenoviral infections in immunocompromised individuals may be life-threatening conditions. The aim of this review is to document all the reported cases of adenoviral infection is patients having undergone bone marrow transplantation (BMT). A comprehensive literature search of the databases Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify all the case reports of adenoviral infections in BMT patients. A total of 30 articles with 44 patients were included. The most common underlying condition was acute lymphocytic leukemia (23%) followed by acute myeloid leukemia (18%). The most common site of infection was disseminated (50%), followed by liver infection (8%) and hemorrhagic cystitis (8%). Cidofovir was administered in 40.9% of the cases, and death was reported in 34.4% of them. Ribavirin was administered as monotherapy in 15.9% of patients, with a mortality rate of 57.1%. We found that the antiviral drug option had no statistically significant effect on the mortality rate (p=0.242). Also, the absence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was not associated with an improved outcome (p=0.523). There was, however, a statistically significant difference in the outcome based on the site of infection (p=0.005), with a higher rate of mortality in the disseminated and gastrointestinal cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review documenting all the cases of adenoviral infections in BMT patients. Future randomized studies are needed to validate the results of the present study.
