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

Systemic Epstein-Barr virus-positive T-cell lymphoma (SEBVTL) of childhood is a rare and aggressive disorder often associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and multiorgan failure. We reviewed six pediatric SEBVTL cases treated at Seoul National University Children’s Hospital between 2017 and 2024. All patients presented with HLH and bone marrow involvement. Initial management included the HLH-2004 protocol and chemotherapy. Since December 2022, cooling immunochemotherapy (etoposide and cytarabine) was introduced as a bridge to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Median age at diagnosis was 8.2 years, and median follow-up was 8.5 months. Three patients treated before 2022 died of progressive disease. Among three patients managed with cooling immunochemotherapy and HSCT, two survived and one died of engraftment failure. The 1-year overall and event-free survival rates were both 33.3%. These findings suggest cooling immunochemotherapy followed by HSCT may improve outcomes in refractory pediatric SEBVTL.
