Genome evolution of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV).
Article in Journal of virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer in people living with HIV (PLWH), particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV or human herpesvirus 8 [HHV-8]) is endemic. In KSHV endemic areas, the overall survival of KS patients has changed little over the past 20 years. A phylogenetic analysis of available full-length viral genomes ( IMPORTANCE: To understand viruses, the field needs to know their genetic makeup. To develop mechanistic models, targeted therapies, and vaccines, we need comprehensive and up-to-date sequence information on the viral strains that circulate where the diseases appear today. Our knowledge of Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) sequence distribution and evolution is behind that of other human herpesviruses and RNA viruses. Here, we add to community knowledge using new technologies and artificial intelligence.
