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

Temozolomide (TMZ), an alkylating agent, is widely used for treating high-grade gliomas and has emerged as a treatment option for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) because of its good penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and mild toxicity profile. To our knowledge, the role of temozolomide in the treatment of lymphoma was confined to PCNSL and its role in lymphoma central infiltration has not been reported yet. We describe our experience using a combination of high-dose methotrexate and temozolomide (MT) in two metastatic central nervous system Lymphoma (CNSL). As far as we know, this is the first case report about temozolomide in metastatic CNSL patients and no study to date has incorporated investigation of the biology of metastatic CNSL into the treatment protocol. Temozolomide may represent a promising new drug for the treatment of metastatic CNSL.
