Disseminated Kaposi Sarcoma With Gastrointestinal Involvement and Primary Effusion Lymphoma in an Untreated HIV Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) are human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8)-associated malignancies that occur predominantly in individuals with advanced, untreated HIV. We report a 30-year-old male patient with untreated HIV who presented with progressive dyspnea, cough, abdominal pain, and widespread violaceous skin lesions. Imaging revealed bilateral pleural effusions and extensive lymphadenopathy. Biopsies confirmed disseminated KS involving the skin, lymph nodes, and gastrointestinal tract, while pleural fluid cytology and immunophenotypic analysis were diagnostic of PEL. Despite initiation of antiretroviral therapy and chemotherapy, the patient developed refractory effusions, pancytopenia, and ultimately multiorgan and respiratory failure. This case highlights the aggressive nature of dual HHV-8-driven malignancies in untreated HIV patients and underscores the importance of early diagnosis and prompt antiretroviral initiation.
