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

To describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes in patients with primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) with ocular involvement. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 61 patients who were diagnosed with PCNSL from January 2000 to October 2008 at the Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Among 46 patients who underwent ophthalmologic examination, 13 (28%) showed intraocular involvement. Mean age at diagnosis was 52.8 years, and 54% of patients were female. Diagnosis of PCNSL was made by vitrectomy (1 patient) or brain biopsy and/or CSF cytology (12 patients). In 4 (31%) patients, ocular symptoms preceded CNS symptoms. The most common ocular symptom was decreased visual acuity. Nine patients showed bilateral involvement. Intraocular findings included retinal infiltrative lesions (3 eyes), vitritis/vitreous opacity (5 eyes), or both (14 eyes). In addition to systemic chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, vitrectomy and/or intravitreal methotrexate was utilized in 8 patients. Mean survival duration was 32.2 months (range 2-120 months). Although rare, the number of patients with PCNSL seems to be increasing in Korea. Early detection and dedicated treatment of intraocular lymphoma may result in improved visual outcome.
