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

A necropsy case of human T lymphotropic virus I (HTLV-I) associated myelopathy (HAM) in a 64 year old man with serological and genetical confirmation of HTLV-I infection is reported. The spinal cord, lung, and skin were mainly affected. Severe degeneration had occurred in the spinal cord, not only in the lateral columns but also in the anterior and posterior columns. The degenerate lesions showed proliferation of capillaries, loss of myelin and axon, and perivascular and parenchymal infiltration with T lymphocytes and foamy macrophages in the white matter. T lymphocytes had infiltrated the lung and there was vascular proliferation in the peribronchus. OPD4 positive cells predominated in the lung. The patient also had erythrodermia where dense and bandlike HTLV-I infected lymphoid cell infiltration was observed, with mild atypia and epidermotropism. HTLV-I may cause multiorganic inflammatory disorders, although the definitive role of HTLV-I in the pathogenesis is still unknown.
