Clinical diagnostic dilemma in an uncharacteristic rapidly enlarging swelling of the anterior maxilla: extranodal diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

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.
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
Extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is infrequent in the oral cavity and constitutes 3.5% of oral cancers, and less than 2.2% of maxillofacial lymphomas. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounts for 40% of NHL and has a 5-year survival rate of less than 30%. Early detection of extranodal NHL by dental personnel is extremely important as a delay in diagnosis can result in the cancer being diagnosed at an advanced stage and a poor prognosis. A 60-year-old male presented with an uncharacteristic asymptomatic rapidly enlarging swelling of the anterior maxilla, which on histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis was diagnosed as DLBCL. Imaging studies showed bone invasion and lymph node metastasis with poor prognosis. The patient received radiotherapy and chemotherapy but died within 3 months of diagnosis. A literature search revealed one another case with anterior maxilla occurrence, as the few oral DLBCL so far reported have appeared on the posterior palate or other intraoral sites.
