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

rationaleBilateral adrenal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, nongerminal center B-cell phenotype (non-GCB DLBCL), is an uncommon malignancy that exhibits rapid development. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose position emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) is extremely sensitive in distinguishing highly malignant tumors from benign tumors. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of non-GCB DLBCL showing significantly high uptake of 18F-FDG on PET/CT examination. DIAGNOSES: Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination further confirmed that the bilateral adrenal masses were non-GCB DLBCL.

interventionsThe maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the adrenal lesion was 17.2. Abnormal 18F-FDG uptake was observed in a retroperitoneal lymph node, the SUVmax of which was 14.2. OUTCOMES: He was administered CHOP chemotherapy without rituximab due to high costs.His therapeutic effect and survival time could not be tracked due to patient privacy. LESSONS: non-GCB DLBCL is a rare malignancy.18F-FDG PET/CT examination can distinguish benign from malignant adrenal lesions based on increased FDG uptake. It is a noninvasive method to diagnose malignant adrenal tumors.
