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

Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive B cell lymphoma of non-Hodgkin's type usually presenting in extranodal sites for endemic and sporadic types of the disease. Like other non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHL), HIV positive associated BL is associated with peripheral lymphadenopathy. We present a case of 22-year-old newly diagnosed HIV positive female patient who presented with generalized peripheral lymphadenopathy and obstructive jaundice. Initial work up was suggestive of acute pancreatitis with further evaluation revealing a pancreatic head mass. BL was confirmed both by axillary lymph node biopsy and immunohistochemistry, highlighting the importance of high index of suspicion and prompt histopathological diagnosis to enable treatment of this fatal disease that is potentially curable.
