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

To document the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Waldeyer's ring (WR) and the sinonasal (SN) region, and to identify any differences between lymphatic and extra-lymphatic DLBCLs, and predictors of disease beyond the neck. Primary, nodal, and multifocal sites on head and neck MRI were compared between 31 WR and 15 SN DLBCL, and between 27 patients with disease confined to the head and neck and 16 patients with disease beyond the neck, using logistic regression. Compared to SN, WR DLBCLs had significantly smaller primary tumour volumes (p = 0.009), less deep invasion (p = 0.001), and more nodal disease (p = 0.016). Tumour site (WR vs. SN) was an independent predictor of deep invasion (p = 0.007). Nodal and multifocal diseases were predictors of disease beyond the neck (p = 0.027 and 0.011, respectively). Lymphatic WR DLBCLs were less locally aggressive but had greater propensity to nodal spread than extra-lymphatic SN DLBCLs. Nodal and multifocal diseases predicted disease beyond the neck.
