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

Most patients with mantle cell lymphoma present with a diffuse or nodular infiltration of the involved organs at diagnosis. We present two patients with a rare morphological variant, displaying a partial involvement of the mantle zone. Patient 1 presented with an enlarged inguinal lymph node, which showed marked follicular hyperplasia with singly spread Cyclin D1+ small lymphoid cells in the mantle zones. An additional lymph node biopsy taken 3 months later showed the same pattern. Patient 2 presented with a classical mantle cell lymphoma with lymph node, bone marrow and gastro-intestinal involvement. However, revision of an appendectomy specimen taken 4 years earlier showed pronounced follicular hyperplasia with singly spread Cyclin D1+ small lymphoid cells in the mantle zones. Mantle cell lymphoma with partial involvement of the mantle zone has rarely been reported and many represent an early manifestation of mantle cell lymphoma. Our cases also illustrate that the inclusion of an anti-cyclin D1 antibody in the diagnostic panel of antibodies to study unexplained follicular hyperplasia, might be advised.
