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

This retrospective study evaluated 75 patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) to compare the efficacy and survival outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockade therapy. Patients were classified into HSCT and non-HSCT groups. The primary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and event-free survival (EFS). HSCT significantly improved ORR, 3-year OS, and 3-year EFS compared to non-HSCT treatment. Subgroup analysis showed that PD-1 blockade achieved outcomes comparable to HSCT in a subset of patients; however, HSCT remained superior, overall, particularly in patients without hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The presence of HLH was identified as an independent risk factor for inferior survival. In conclusion, allogeneic HSCT remains the preferred curative strategy for CAEBV, whereas PD-1 blockade represents a promising alternative for carefully selected patients. Early recognition and management of HLH are crucial for improving prognosis.
