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

purposeTo report an atypical case of cystic extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) of lacrimal gland associated with vision loss. OBSERVATIONS: An 89-year-old woman was presented with a rapidly progressing proptosis, lagophthalmos, and vision loss. Endophthalmitis was also present. Computed tomography scan images showed a hyperdense mass with hypodense cystic areas occupying the superolateral orbit, which displaced the globe antero-inferiorly with optic nerve compression and stretching. An erosion to the adjacent superior and lateral orbital walls was also demonstrated. Complete tumor excision was performed via upper transconjunctival orbitotomy concurrently with enucleation. The immunohistopathological diagnosis was MALT lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: This case emphasizes the importance of considering lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of a cystic superolateral orbital mass.
