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

A 40-year-old African American man with recently diagnosed Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) presented with isolated left abducens palsy. Initial neuro-imaging and laboratory evaluation, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, were unremarkable. Continued search for causative aetiology revealed systemic lymphoma diagnosed ultimately by bone marrow biopsy. Systemic lymphoma is commonly encountered in the HIV patient population, but presentation can be unusual and has been seen, albeit rarely, in the setting of isolated cranial neuropathy. This case demonstrates the often diligent investigation required in the setting of isolated cranial neuropathies in patients with HIV.
