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

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is one of the most common malignancies affecting solid organ transplant recipients. The disease is frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection (70% of cases) and cases are often delineated by EBV positivity status. The oncogenesis of EBV-positive PTLD is well-described in the literature; however, the etiology of the EBV-negative subtype is poorly understood. This report describes a case of EBV-negative PTLD developing in a combined kidney-pancreas transplant recipient with an incidental finding of untreated chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). Our experience suggests an association between HCV and EBV-negative PTLD. Additional well-designed studies are needed to further investigate this association.
