Concurrent Presentation of Human Herpesvirus 8-Associated Multicentric Castleman Disease and Kaposi Sarcoma in a Young Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Castleman disease and Kaposi sarcoma are uncommon conditions that can occur in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We report a case of a 26-year-old man newly diagnosed with acquired immune deficiency syndrome who presented with fever, nocturnal chills, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Imaging revealed widespread lymphadenopathy and bone marrow hypermetabolism. Histopathological examination of an excised cervical lymph node demonstrated atrophic follicles with involuted germinal centers and an expanded mantle zone containing scattered plasmablasts - features consistent with Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV-8)-associated multicentric Castleman disease, with microscopic foci of Kaposi sarcoma featuring spindle cell proliferation with slit-like vascular channels. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed HHV-8 positivity in plasmablasts and spindle cells of Kaposi sarcoma. This case highlights the importance of a thorough evaluation of HIV-positive patients presenting with lymphadenopathy to ensure early recognition of rare but clinically significant conditions requiring aggressive management. Recognition of concurrent HHV-8-associated Castleman disease and Kaposi sarcoma is critical, as treatment strategies differ and outcomes may be influenced by early therapeutic intervention.
