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

HTLV-1 is an enigmatic retrovirus triggering a debilitating neuroinflammatory disease, HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM), with unknown pathogenesis. Both HTLV-1 infection and HAM predominantly affect women and non-white neglected populations. HAM is lacking disease-modifying treatment, as current treatment is mostly symptomatic and inspired by either HIV-1 or multiple sclerosis therapeutic strategies. We used systems biology analyses of novel and publicly available data comprising (epi)genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics of multi-ancestry cohorts from a total of > 2500 People Living with HTLV-1 from 5 countries (Brazil, Peru, Japan, UK, US). Leveraging an unique admixed Brazilian cohort, genome-wide association study (GWAS) revealed African-specific variants in inflammasome sensor
