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

In the central nervous system, cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lymphomas are rare; few cases have been reported. Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) in the CPA is rarer still, and often misdiagnosed as acoustic neuroma.We report a rare case of CPA LPL-a challenging diagnosis guided by clinical presentations, radiological signs, and postoperative pathological test.A 43-year-old woman presented with headaches. Her magnetic resonance imaging revealed an abnormal homogeneously enhancing mass in the left CPA. We present detailed analysis of her disease and review relevant literature.When surgically treated, her specimen showed a typical LPL histopathology pattern. After surgery, the patient's symptoms improved greatly, and she received chemotherapy.Despite its rarity, LPL should be considered in differential diagnoses of CPA lesions that mimic acoustic neuromas.
