Adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL) in pregnancy: A UK case series.
Article in EJHaem, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: Chronic infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) may result in aggressive adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL) in 4-6% carriers. The majority of this risk arises in carriers infected during infancy, and so each infant has ∼25% lifetime risk. Other risk factors include a family history of ATL. Antenatal HTLV-1 screening is not undertaken in the UK. Methods: Here we describe four cases of ATL diagnosed during pregnancy and describe strategies to minimise HTLV-1 transmission to neonates. Results/conclusion: These cases highlight undiagnosed HTLV-1 in pregnancy which allows ongoing mother to child vertical transmission and risk of future ATL. We recommend the UK National Screening Committee incorporate HTLV-1 serology into antenatal screening.
