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 Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounts for the large majority of AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). DLBCL usually arises in lymph nodes, presenting as a painless rapid swelling mass in the neck, armpit, or groin. CASE REPORT Here, we report a case of DLBCL that needed only 3 months to develop a tumor 20×15 cm in diameter in the right groin and even caused scrotum swelling and lower-extremity edema. Furthermore, this case of DLBCL had developed other 3 subcutaneous tumors in the chest wall and their diameters were 16×9 cm, 7×7 cm, and 3×3 cm. A thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan presented with bilateral pleural effusion and the chest wall tumors with rib lesions. CONCLUSIONS It is rare that a DLBCL needed only 3 months to develop a tumor 20×15 cm in diameter and even caused scrotum swelling and unilateral lower-extremity edema due to the large mass located in the right groin. Furthermore, it is extremely rare that this lymphoma infiltrated the chest wall and even resulted in rib lesions.
