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 cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL) is a rare and distinct neoplasm appearing de novo on the skin. We present a case of a 75-year-old man diagnosed with PC-ALCL in his left femoral region. We describe the morphology of lesions along with the differential diagnosis, treatment, clinical course and prognosis. We further discuss parameters concerning treatment that should be considered when a PC-ALCL is diagnosed. Our case report demonstrates the complexity in classification, staging, differential diagnosis and therapy selection of PC-ALCLs. It is crucial to emphasize the importance of clinical criteria in diagnosing a PC-ALCL in combination with immunohistochemistry.
