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

rationaleThe rare morphological variant of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) may pose a challenge in diagnosis, especially when presentation primarily involves skin lesions. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here we describe a rare case of small cell variant of ALCL in an 11-year-old girl. DIAGNOSIS: We performed clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical analyses of developed cutaneous nodules.

interventionsPathologists should consider this small cell variant in ALCL differential diagnosis, as early and correct diagnosis has important clinical implications. OUTCOMES: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation appears to be a promising treatment option for small cell variant of ALCL. LESSONS: Histological diagnosis of small cell variant of ALCL is challenging among pediatricians because of its low incidence and atypical presentation. We provide a short review of the small cell variant of ALCL to facilitate the diagnosis of this difficult-to-recognize entity.
