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

A 55-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 10-day history of right arm weakness and numbness. The patient's medical history was notable for lobular carcinoma in situ of the right breast in 2008 and stage I diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the left axilla. The patient had completed treatment with chemotherapy and radiation 2 months prior to presentation. Blood counts, metabolic panel and lumbar puncture were unremarkable. MRI of the brain revealed multiple enhancing masses. The patient was started on dexamethasone, with rapid symptom improvement. A stereotactic brain biopsy revealed CD20 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient was started on high-dose intravenous methotrexate. She has received 11 cycles and has regained near normal function of the right arm. The patient's most recent brain MRI showed near complete resolution of all previously seen abnormal foci of enhancement.
