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

Background: Recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) are at risk of multiple viral infections. However, our knowledge about the clinical impact of viruses following alloHCT is predominantly focused on outcomes of a single viral infection such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of multiple viral infections in the first year following alloHCT. Methods: All microbiologically confirmed viral infection of CMV, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), BK polyomavirus (BKV), varicella zoster virus, human herpesvirus 6, herpes simplex virus, and various respiratory viruses were reviewed up to 12 months post-alloHCT. Results: Among 430 alloHCT recipients, 744 viral infections were observed within the first year posttransplantation, predominantly CMV (55%), followed by EBV (51%) and BKV (21%). Eighty-five percent of patients had at least 1 viral infection, of which 34% had 2 and 24% had ≥3 viruses. Independent risk factors of multiple viral infections included CMV serostatus (R Conclusions: Multiple viral infections were frequently observed, with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality following alloHCT.
