Dynamics of Epstein-Barr virus after cord blood transplantation: A nationwide survey in Japan.
Article in Blood cell therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common virus that latently infects most adults and has a tropism to B lymphocytes. In 1988, two cases of EBV infection were reported to be eradicated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from an EBV-negative donor. However, the dynamics of EBV after cord blood transplantation (CBT), namely, the kinetics of anti-EBV antibodies, the incidence of negative/adverse seroconversion (from positive to negative), and the clinical course of re-infection (second primary infection) by EBV, have not yet been characterized in detail. Therefore, we performed a nationwide survey that focused on the dynamics of EBV after CBT 1 year or later after CBT. Negative seroconversion occurred in 23% of previously EBV-infected patients. The incidence of late-onset EBV-associated events was 1.9% (13/674): 5 infectious mononucleosis, 2 hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), and 6 remaining typical lymphoproliferative disease. HLH occurred in newly infected patients (primary or second primary) and also in those with reactivation and was fatal. The annual monitoring of anti-EBV antibody titers may facilitate the early detection of these late-onset EBV-associated events and treatment initiation before disease progression.
