Single-Center Outcomes of Epstein-Barr Virus DNAemia in Adult Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.
Article in Journal of transplantation, 2024. 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
Background: Immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation (SOT) increases the risk of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNAemia, which may herald development of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). Few studies have characterized the incidence, risk factors, and clinical impact of EBV DNAemia in adult SOT recipients (SOTR). Methods: A single-center, retrospective review of adult (≥18 years) SOTR between 01 January 2015 and 31 December 2019 was conducted. Patients were stratified by the primary study endpoint of development of EBV DNAemia (whole blood EBV DNA PCR > 200 copies/mL). Secondary endpoints included development of PTLD, reduction in immunosuppression (RIS), use of pre-emptive therapy, and all-cause mortality. Results: Among 442 adult SOTR, the predominant transplant organs were the kidney (258, 58%) and liver (141, 31.9%). EBV serostatus in most subjects (430, 97%) was classified as intermediate risk (R+). Eight subjects (2%) were high risk (donor (D+/R-), and 4 (1%) were low risk (D-/R-). The overall incidence of EBV DNAemia was 4.1% (18/442) with a median time to detection of 14 months (range 3-60). The highest proportion of DNAemia was observed in D+/R- subjects (37.5%; Conclusion: We observed that EBV D+/R- serostatus and development of sustained EBV DNAemia were high risk features associated with subsequent development of PTLD in our cohort of adult SOTR.
