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

Thrombocytopenia, anasarca, myelofibrosis, renal dysfunction and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome is a variant of Castleman's disease recently identified in Japan. A 73-year-old man was diagnosed with TAFRO syndrome according to clinical findings, and his symptoms improved after corticosteroid therapy. Ten months later, lymphadenopathy worsened during tapering of corticosteroids. Histological findings of abdominal lymph nodes showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After 6 cycles of R-CHOP therapy, he has remained in sustained complete remission. This is a rare case of the development of malignant lymphoma during the treatment of TAFRO syndrome, which suggests an association between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and TAFRO syndrome.
