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

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare B-cell lymphoma with an extremely poor prognosis that is associated with long-term persistent latent infection with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). However, studies on the correlation between KSHV genotype and PEL development in elderly patients are still lacking. We present the first global case of non-HIV, non-effusive, difficult-to-diagnose PEL with disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in an elderly patient of Bouyei nationality, dynamically demonstrating that KSHV and EBV co-infection promote tumorigenesis. Phylogenetic analysis based on the Open Coding Framework (ORF)-K1 gene indicated that five samples from the patient's blood (mtl A), saliva (mtl B), descending colon (mtl C), skin (mtl D), and gastric mucosa (mtl E) may belong to a new subtype, Cnew. KSHV genotypes appear to show a pattern of traceability consistent with the human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup tree.
