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

Purpose: Epstein-Barr virus associated post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) is a common condition after solid-organ or allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplants. But ocular involvement after keratoplasty remains a rare finding, and can be easily misdiagnosed. Observations: We report a case of a 59-year-old man who presented with masquerade uveitis of right eye 4 months post penetrating keratoplasty and was ultimately diagnosed with ocular PTLD. The diagnosis relied on the presence of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in aqueous sample and iris specimens showed the presence of a B cell clone. The ocular condition was in complete remission after 15 intravitreal injections of methotrexate. Conclusions and Importance: Local immunosuppression after keratoplasty can lead to ocular PTLD. Detection of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in intraocular fluid and tissue or cytological biopsy could help confirm the diagnosis.
