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

Classification, pathogenesis and molecular pathology of primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) pose major clinico-pathologic problems. Application of histopathologic classification schemes developed for nodal lymphomas, i.e. the Kiel Classification and the Working Formulation, is not reliable and clinically not relevant for PCNSL. The more recent REAL Classification will simplify subtyping of PCNSL, but reliability and clinical significance remain to be determined. There are virtually no experimental data on whether PCNSL develop outside of the brain, or whether they arise from polyclonal lymphoproliferations within the brain. Mutations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes have been analyzed in only a few tumors, and their type and frequency is essentially unknown. In conclusion, compared with both neuroectodermal brain tumors and nodal lymphomas, and given the increasing incidence and clinical impact of PCNSL, there is a remarkable lack of histopathologic consensus as well as a surprising shortage of pathogenetic and molecular genetic information.
