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

AIDS-related malignant lymphomas (ARLs) are the lymphomas that develop in association with HIV infection. According to the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), the life expectancy of People Living with HIV (PLWH) has markedly improved; however, approximately one-third of PLWH have passed away from the complications of malignancies, even in well-controlled PLWH. HIV itself is not tumorigenic, and most of these tumors are due to co-infection with oncogenic viruses. γ-herpes viruses (Epstein-Barr virus: EBV and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus: KSHV) are the most significant risk factors for ARLs. Immunodeficiency, chronic inflammation, accelerated aging, and genetic instability caused by HIV infection, as well as HIV accessory molecules, are thought to promote lymphomagenesis. The prognosis of ARLs is comparable to that of non-HIV cases in the cART era. Intensive chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation is also available for relapsed/refractory ARLs. Since the early stage of HIV infection has no symptoms, significant numbers of HIV-infected individuals have not noticed HIV infection until the onset of AIDS (so-called Ikinari AIDS). Since the ratio of these patients is more than 30% in Japan, hematologists should carefully consider the possibility of HIV infection in cases of lymphoma. Even in an era of cART, ARL remains a critical complication in PLWH, warranting continuous surveillance.
