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

Although Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) plays a role in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) tumorigenesis, it is unclear if EBV genetic variation impacts clinical outcomes. From 130 publicly available whole-genome tumor sequences of EBV-positive BL patients, we used least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and Bayesian variable selection models within a Cox proportional hazards framework to select the top EBV variants, putative driver genes, and clinical features associated with patient survival time. These features were incorporated into survival prediction and prognostic subgrouping models. Our model yielded 22 EBV variants, including seven in latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), as most associated with patient survival time. Using the top EBV variants, driver genes, and clinical features, we defined three prognostic subgroups that demonstrated differential survival rates, laying the foundation for incorporating EBV variants such as those in LMP1 as predictive biomarker candidates in future studies.
