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

Multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) is a poorly understood, heterogeneous lymphoproliferative disorder with benign hyperplastic lymph nodes and systemic inflammatory symptoms. Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) may be associated with MCD, whether or not the patient is infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A 74-year-old man presented with anaemia, thrombocytopenia and bilateral axillary adenomegaly of unknown origin. The patient was admitted to the hospital two years ago with clinical signs of weight loss, asthenia, anorexia and a maculopapular rash on the trunk and back. Blood analysis showed pancytopenia (haemoglobin 7.7 g/dL, leucocytes 2.55 x 10
