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

Extranodal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a very rare tumour, only reported in case reports and case series. It poses diagnostic and management challenge both to the clinician and pathologist. We present such a rare case of duodenal FDCS in a 56-year-old woman who was recently managed in our institution. Repeated pre surgical biopsies were non-diagnostic and the final diagnosis was made only after surgical excision of the tumour and with the help of histopathological and immunohistochemical studies. The patient had a complete en block resection of the tumour and was discharged home well 5 days postsurgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of FDCS reported arising from the duodenum.
