Torque Teno Virus (TTV) Plasma Load and Immune Reconstitution Post-Transplantation in Patients with Lymphoproliferative Disorders: A Systematic Review.

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
Torque Teno Virus (TTV), a common and genetically diverse component of the human virome, is not linked to any known disease but reflects immune status. Its plasma viral load has shown clinical relevance in solid organ transplant recipients, correlating it with immunosuppression when present at high levels. However, the clinical significance of TTV viral load in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients is less understood. This systematic review aims to evaluate whether plasma TTV DNA load directly correlates with the degree of T-cell immune reconstitution after HSCT, supporting its potential role as a biomarker for immune competence. The study protocol was registered in the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD420251116208) and followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Twenty-one studies were included. The results showed concordant data about TTV kinetics with peak levels reaching approximately between +90 to +120 days after transplantation. Contradictory results have instead been found for the association of TTV load with immune parameters (lymphocyte counts, viral opportunistic infection, and development of acute graft versus host diseases). Even if a low-risk bias assessment was classified in most studies (67%), it was possible to identify important clinical and methodological differences between them, which might account for the different findings observed. Therefore, future larger studies with standardized protocols are needed to assess whether TTV viral load can serve as a reliable tool for guiding clinical decisions in the context of HSCT.
