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

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are severe complications with heterogeneous clinical pictures involving abnormal lymphoproliferation in solid organ transplants and are known to be closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Herein, we present a case of graft lymphoma in a febrile kidney transplant recipient. A 37-year-old woman was admitted with an abrupt 39 °C fever, mild graft discomfort, and gross hematuria. She had received deceased donor kidney transplantation 8 years earlier, but developed graft failure due to a recurrence of immunoglobulin A nephropathy. Laboratory tests revealed anemia and elevated levels of inflammatory markers. Enhanced abdominopelvic computed tomography showed graft swelling with perirenal fat stranding. Thus, we administered antibiotics for a urinary tract infection and increased the doses of steroids due to suspicion of graft intolerance syndrome. However, the patient's symptoms gradually worsened. Eventually, we performed graft nephrectomy and histologically confirmed EBV-positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma. We report a case in which a PTLD was considered in the differential diagnosis of a kidney transplant recipient with symptoms similar to those of a urinary tract infection or graft intolerance syndrome.
