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

purposePrimary gastrointestinal follicular lymphoma (GI-FL) is considered a rare disease with fewer than 400 cases reported in the literature. It accounts for roughly 1-3 % of GI non-Hodgkins lymphomas (NHL). It originates in the GI tract and typically affects small bowel. The disease has an indolent course, and a prolonged survival can be expected in most cases. Due to its rarity, an optimal diagnostic work up and treatment plan has not been well established.

methodsEndoscopic evaluation of the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract using esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), wireless capsule endoscopy, double-balloon enteroscopy, colonoscopy, and whole body examination with fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been suggested to more accurately stage the disease and guide the treatment plan.

resultsTreatment options for GI follicular lymphoma include watch and wait strategy, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immuno-radiotherapy, or a combination of these modalities.

conclusionIn this article, we have summarized the existing information regarding clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment options for this rare entity after presenting a case of GI-FL who was diagnosed during an EGD for evaluation of belching, heartburn, and weight loss.
