Solitary thoracic Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumor presenting after kidney transplant: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 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
backgroundEpstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMTs) are rare neoplasms that primarily occur in the setting of immunosuppression from HIV/AIDS, solid organ transplant, or congenital/primary immunodeficiencies. The majority of posttransplant patients present with multifocal disease; however, solitary spine tumors can occur at initial presentation. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present the case of a solitary spinal EBV-SMT presenting 1 year after a renal transplant. LESSONS: Although EBV-SMTs are a rare entity, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary spine tumors in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25754.
