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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may cause a wide spectrum of symptomatology in humans ranging from asymptomatic upper respiratory tract infection to infectious mononucleosis and in more severe cases lymphoproliferative disorders or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Its neoplastic potential is higher in immunocompromised individuals. We describe a case of EBV-positive mucocutaneous ulcer, a more indolent clinical entity on the spectrum of EBV-driven lymphoproliferative disorders, and are one of the first to put sulfasalazine, an immunomodulatory agent, forward as the possible culprit.
