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

Systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) disease is a rare, delayed, and life-threatening complication of EBV infection. It is characterized by persistent viremia and a mononucleosis-like syndrome with multisystemic involvement because of lymphocytic tissue infiltration. We present the case of an 82-year-old woman without known immunodeficiency who presented with abnormal liver enzymes and interstitial pneumonia. Investigations revealed hyperferritinemia, elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels, hypofibrinogenemia, and hepatosplenomegaly, consistent with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, as well as a high EBV viral load. Liver biopsy demonstrated portal chronic lymphocytic inflammation and positive EBV in situ hybridization, suggesting systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease as the underlying etiology.
