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

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that has been increasing in incidence over the past three decades. Unlike systemic extranodal NHL, the response to therapy for PCNSL patients has been somewhat unsatisfactory. However, methotrexate-based chemotherapy and whole-brain radiotherapy have improved the outcome of patients. Unfortunately, treatment-related neurotoxicity is common, especially in the elderly. Although progress has been made in treating PCNSL, there remains no optimal methotrexate dose or frequency. Treatment of recurrence also remains controversial. These important questions have prompted several clinical studies looking at novel ways to intensify chemotherapy and limit neurotoxicity.
