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

Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is of very rare occurrence as an extra nodal site of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). It represents less than 1% of NHL. Out of which Burkitt lymphoma of pancreas is of a rare presentation. It usually occurs in children and presenting in adults is uncommon. The prevalence of pancreatic Burkitt lymphoma is not known as the incidence is significantly low. Clinical features of PPL are predominantly nonspecific and can become difficult with associated inflammation of pancreas. Differentiation of lymphoma to adenocarcinoma is important as chemotherapy is the main stay of treatment in lymphoma. We report a case of 68-year-old female who presented with nonspecific symptoms and was found to have obstructive jaundice secondary to pancreatic head neoplasm which was proved to be pancreatic Burkitt lymphoma which is a rare presentation.
