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

An interventional pilot study to assess the tolerability and activity of the intralesional injection of rituximab, a chimeric mAb that targets the CD20 antigen, in patients with orbital B-cell lymphoma. Five patients received four intralesional injections (one injection a week) of rituximab together with ropivicaine 2%. Side-effects and tumor response were assessed after each injection and during the follow-up (20 months). Two patients obtained complete remission of the intraorbital lesion. Two patients showed incomplete response after induction therapy and received planned escalating rituximab doses, obtaining regression of subjective symptoms. One patient did not achieve tumor regression after the first injection and underwent systemic treatment. This small exploratory study suggests that intralesional rituximab is a well-tolerated treatment for patients with primary ocular adnexal lymphoma. These preliminary findings suggest that intralesional rituximab is a well-tolerated strategy in anterior intraorbital lesion localization of lymphoma.
