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

Objectives: Dysregulation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific cellular immunity has been hypothesised as one of the contributing factors in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Lupus nephritis is a major risk factor for overall morbidity in SLE. Immune-based strategies directed to EBV have been proposed as potential therapeutic strategy for SLE and lupus nephritis. Methods: Autologous EBV latent antigen-specific CD4 Results: This adoptive immunotherapy had no immediate adverse effects, and the patient was subsequently treated with the anti-CD20 antibody, obinutuzumab. The patient showed a reduction in anti-dsDNA antibodies and improved glomerular filtration rate but remained nephrotic. These observations were coincident with a reduction in anti-viral and global T-cell activation. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of EBV-specific adoptive immunotherapy to treat a patient with lupus nephritis.
