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

We report two cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), both occurring in the small bowel, which coexpress PAX5, weak or no CD20 and the CD4 antigen. The CD4 was initially identified by flow cytometry and then confirmed by immunohistochemistry. CD4 is a representative marker for helper T-lymphocytes and is present on a subset of thymocytes, peripheral T cells and monocytes or macrophages. Unlike CD2 and CD5, no B cell fractions are known to express CD4. It might be hypothesized that the deregulated control of gene expression in malignant B cells, in particular PAX5, leads to the activation of some silent or repressed genes of T cell differentiation. Although lineage infidelity is described in some B lymphomas, it remains as an uncommon phenomenon; to our knowledge, cases reported here are the first two cases of DLBCL of the gastrointestinal tract coexpressing the CD4 antigen to be described to date.
