Clinical significance of anti-Epstein-Barr virus antibodies in systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease (sCAEBV) is a rare and fatal neoplasm, involving clonally proliferating Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected T cells or natural killer cells. Patients with sCAEBV have abnormal titers of anti-EBV antibodies in their peripheral blood, but their significance is unknown. We retrospectively investigated titers and their relationship with the clinical features of sCAEBV using the data collected by the Japanese nationwide survey. Eighty-four patients with sCAEBV were analyzed. The anti-EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) antibody, targeting EBNA-expressing EBV-positive cells, was found in 87.5% of children (<15 years old), 73.7% of adolescents and young adults (15-39 years old), and 100% of adults (≥40 years old). Anti-EBNA antibody titers were significantly lower and anti-VCA-IgG antibody titers significantly higher in patients with sCAEBV than those in healthy controls (
