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

Most thyroid lymphomas are B-lineage, and T-cell lymphomas are rare. Here, we report a case of primary T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) of the thyroid gland. A 15-year-old boy presented with a painless thyroid mass. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a hypoechoic thyroid nodule measuring 4.6 cm × 1.9 cm × 3.4 cm. The thyroid function and antibodies were normal. Hemithyroidectomy was performed. Intraoperative frozen section was suggestive of malignant lymphoma. Histological examination showed diffuse round to oval medium sized cells with high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, finely dispersed chromatin, scanty cytoplasm, and numerous mitoses. Immunohistochemical studies revealed malignant cells were positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD10, CD45RO, CD99, CD79a, CD3, CD1a and Ki-67 (>40%) and negative for CD34, CD20, BCL6, CD23, BCL2, Pax5 and EBV. A diagnosis of thyroid T-LBL was made. The patient was treated by intensive chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and has been in event-free survival for 65 months. The patient was unique because no cases of thyroid T-LBL have been previously reported, to our knowledge. Moreover, intensive chemotherapy followed by alloHSCT might be one of the adoptive options in therapy for this aggressive disease.
