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 recent detection of clonal episomes of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in a significant proportion of Hodgkin's disease (HD) cases has suggested a re-evaluation of the possible pathogenetic role of EBV in the development of the disease. Here we report that in two EBV-positive HD, arisen in human immunodeficiency virus-1-infected drug users, a unique episomal EBV genome was detected in multiple metachronous HD lesions of each patient. These findings demonstrated that the same EBV-positive cellular clone was present in multiple localizations of HD as well as in specimens taken at different times. Combined in situ hybridization and immunohistological analyses evidenced EBV genome and EBV-encoded latent membrane protein-1 on Reed-Sternberg cells. Therefore, the data strongly support the possibility of a causal role for EBV in the pathogenesis of HD.
