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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects more than 90% of the population and establishes a lifelong persistence in memory B cells, passing through several latency stages (I-III). In immunocompromised patients, EBV infections and reactivations can lead to severe complications, such as post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), a malignant B cell lymphoproliferation. The EBV latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) induces activation and proliferation of infected B cells and is expressed in latency stages II/III, that are associated with several EBV malignancies. Here, T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells based on a TCR recognizing the clinically relevant HLA-A∗02:01-restricted LMP2A-derived peptide CLGGLLTMV (A∗02_LMP2A
