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

The relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral load in peripheral blood and HIV infection was determined in 103 HIV-infected patients. Epstein-Barr virus was detected by polymerase chain reaction in 75% of the patients, 21% of whom had the more uncommon EBV subtype 2. The highest levels of EBV were found in patients with 100-400 CD4+ cells/mm3 and not in those with more profound immunosuppression. An association was identified between EBV load and HIV proviral levels (p < 0.001), an IgM response to EBV early antigens (p < or = 0.01) and p24 antigenemia (p < 0.01 in patients with > 100 CD4+ cells), but not with other clinical or laboratory parameters. Combinations of different EBV and HIV parameters identified a subgroup of patients with a 2.2- to 4.8-fold risk of > or = 35% decline in CD4+ counts over six months. The association between EBV and HIV markers may reflect a significant pathogenic interaction between the two viruses.
