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

BACKGROUND Immunosuppressive diseases and therapies have long been connected to risk of malignancies, especially lymphoma. With some diseases and drugs, the association is well established but the data is mostly anecdotal because of the rarity of the situation. CASE REPORT We present 2 rare cases. The first patient had psoriasis, was on etanercept, and developed Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case is rare because psoriasis and etanercept do not usually cause lymphoma, and if they do, it is predominantly Epstein-Barr virus-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The second patient had acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and developed Hodgkin's lymphoma while on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). This case is rare because AIDS mostly causes Kaposi's sarcoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma due to immunosuppression, but whether it is AIDS or HAART therapy that leads to development of Hodgkin's lymphoma in these patients is not clear. CONCLUSIONS Immunosuppression seems to be the primary culprit leading to lymphomas in these cases. The exact mechanism is still not completely understood.
