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 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Hodgkin's disease, with an frequency of 15 to 50% in the immunocompetent host. We studied 12 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cases of Hodgkin's disease occurring in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals to determine the frequency of EBV in Hodgkin's disease from this population. EBV DNA-RNA in situ hybridization was performed using a 30-base biotinylated anti-sense oligonucleotide complementary to the EBER1 gene of EBV. EBV RNA was found in the Reed-Sternberg cells and variants in 11 of 12 cases. Double-labeling studies confirmed the presence of EBV RNA in CD15-expressing Hodgkin's cells in all 11 cases, although rare B lymphocytes coexpressing EBV RNA and CD20 were also noted in these cases. The Hodgkin's cells in all 11 EBER-positive cases expressed latent membrane protein. The one case negative for EBV RNA showed the histology of nodular, lymphocyte predominance, a subtype thought to be distinct from other types of Hodgkin's disease.
