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 increase awareness about lymphomatosis cerebri by describing a patient with a unique presentation Case report a 58 year old woman presented with progressive lower extremity weakness, postural hypotension, and 90 pound weight loss over 3 months a brain magnetic resonance image revealed multiple non-enhancing foci of T2 hyperintensity in the periventricular white matter despite treatment with corticosteroids, she expired autopsy demonstrated normal gross appearance of the brain and spinal cord microscopic inspection revealed diffuse infiltration of the central nervous system (CNS) parenchyma and white matter by large atypical B cells, consistent with a diagnosis of lymphomatosis cerebri lymphomatosis cerebri is a primary CNS lymphoma variant that is poorly recognized and often misdiagnosed it commonly presents as a rapidly progressive dementia, although patients may present with neurologic dysfunction without dementia diagnosis requires a pathological examination treatment with intravenous high-dose methotrexate based chemotherapy should be considered in appropriate patients.
