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

We report a case of a 54-year-old HIV-negative female who presented with a 2-month history of ongoing post meridiem low-level fever and new onset progressive paralysis. On MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), an infiltrative enhancing lesion was noted, which initially resembled that of MS, but she reacted not sensitively with immunosuppressive therapy, we performed a brain biopsy to her, it turned out to be primary CNS (central nervous system) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). And the morphology, the flow cytometric findings were consistent with germinal center B-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. There were only a few case reports concerning primary CNS DLBCL of GCB. The misdiagnose of this patient should alarm the bell, and we should consider biopsy when the lesion is near the cortex in the brain. Why she reacted not sensitively with immunosuppressive therapy later is analyzed.
