Epstein-Barr virus in tonsillar tissue of Iranian children with tonsillar hypertrophy: Quantitative measurement by real-time PCR.

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.
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
Background and Objectives: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is ubiquitous all around the world. Tonsils seem to be candidate replication sites for EBV, and these tissues can be infected acutely or chronically. Some studies reported an association between EBV infection and tonsillar hypertrophy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the presence and copy number of the EBV genome in tonsil tissue specimens of patients with tonsillar hypertrophy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 50 fresh tonsil tissue samples from children, who underwent tonsillectomy because of tonsillar hypertrophy. Patients' tonsil tissues were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction for EBV genome and viral load. Finally, the results were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: EBV genome was detected in 58% (29/50) of tonsillar tissues. The relationship between EBV genome detection rate and age groups was in the statistical significance range ( Conclusion: Herein, EBV genome detection could support the colonization of EBV in the tonsils, which may have a direct or indirect association with the pathogenesis of tonsillar hypertrophy.
