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

rationaleAmong patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), there is a high incidence of immunosuppressed transplant recipients. It is necessary to make an early diagnosis to increase the likelihood of a good prognosis. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of a 54-year-old female patient who developed PTLD after liver and kidney transplantation. DIAGNOSES: We aimed to analyze the standard diagnosis and follow-up of PTLD with imaging. Radiologists need to be familiar with all imaging modalities when dealing with PTLD, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron-emission tomography/computed tomography.

interventionsThe initial treatment included both reduction of immunosuppression and rituximab. Then the treatment strategy changed to rituximab and chemotherapy. Finally, the treatment strategy combined glucocorticoid therapy. OUTCOMES: The patient was in a stable condition at the 3-month follow-up. LESSONS: Systematic evaluation of the various imaging modalities, treatment options, and prognoses of PTLD in renal allografts suggested that in cases with a poor prognosis, the proper imaging modalities provide essential information with regard to the determination of the appropriate treatment.
