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

rationaleBurkitt lymphoma (BL) is an endemic tumor in Africa but rare sporadic cases are diagnosed in Europe. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 60-year-old woman was hospitalized with fulminant hematemesis and a history of recurring melena. DIAGNOSES: The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a tumor of the antrum.

interventionsEmergency gastrectomy was performed. OUTCOMES: Gross findings revealed an ulcerated tumor with elevated margins and several perigastric and extragastric lymph nodes. Histological examination showed proliferation of atypical lymphocytes with a Ki67 index of 100%; they were marked by CD20, CD79a, bcl-6, and CD10 and were negative for CD3, CD5, CD23, TdT, bcl-2, and Cyclin D1. The tumor cells crossed the serosa and presented invasion of the lymph nodes. The patient died 10 days after surgery due to bronchopneumonia and acute renal failure. LESSONS: In our department, only one gastric BL was diagnosed in a 61 consecutive lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract (1.64%). Less than 200 reports about gastric-BL have been published to date. This case highlights the difficulty of diagnosis of rare variants of aggressive gastric lymphomas in medium-income countries without screening programmes.
