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

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8)-associated diseases include Kaposi sarcoma (KS), multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), germinotropic lymphoproliferative disorder (GLPD), Kaposi sarcoma inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS), HHV8-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (HHV8+ DLBCL), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and extra-cavitary PEL (ECPEL). We report the case of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative male treated for cutaneous KS, who developed generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, pleural and abdominal effusions, renal insufficiency, and pancytopenia. The excised lymph node showed features of concomitant involvement by micro-KS and MCD, with aggregates of HHV8+, Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-negative, IgM+, and lambda+ plasmablasts reminiscent of microlymphoma. Molecular investigations revealed a somatically hypermutated (SHM) monoclonal rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH), accounting for 4% of the B-cell population of the lymph node. Mutational analyses identified a pathogenic variant of
