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

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious and heterogeneous neoplastic complication of solid organ transplantation (SOT), arising in the setting of sustained pharmacological immunosuppression. This review is specifically focused on PTLD in the SOT setting; PTLD after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) differs substantially in risk factors, pathogenesis, and management, and is beyond the scope of this work. PTLD incidence ranges from 1% to 20%, depending on the grafted organ, with the highest per-procedure rates in intestinal and multiorgan transplants, and the highest absolute case burden in kidney recipients, given transplant volume. PTLD demonstrates a bimodal temporal distribution: an early, predominantly EBV-driven peak at 12-24 months post-transplant, and a late peak at 5-10 years, with a higher proportion of EBV-negative cases. Contemporary evidence suggests a possible decline in early EBV-positive PTLD with improved surveillance, while late-onset EBV-negative PTLD is stable or increasing. EBV establishes latency type III in PTLD-associated B cells, driving proliferation through viral oncoproteins LMP1 and EBNA2. The latency program correlates with histological category and clinical behavior: latency III predominates in early lesions and polymorphic PTLD with strong EBER expression, whereas EBV-negative monomorphic PTLD displays greater genomic complexity, resembling
