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

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is uncommonly associated with lymphadenopathy, while retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy is extremely uncommon. We report on a patient with a 12-year history of HCL who developed painless jaundice and ascites, accompanied by positional discomfort with persistent nausea. Computed tomography examination revealed 2 large retroperitoneal masses, which at autopsy consisted of HCL with focally intermixed pancreatic and peripancreatic tissue. Lymphadenopathy was not identified above the diaphragm or below the aortic bifurcation. No vasculitis or an unusual HCL histology was identified. As previous reports, our findings suggest that HCL with massive lymphadenopathy has a specific site predilection, but it is not necessarily accompanied by vasculitis or an unusual histology.
