Thoracic manifestations of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma on chest CT: difference between clinical subtypes.
Article in Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
purposeWe aimed to evaluate thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and their differences among clinical subtypes.
methodsThoracic CT scans of 49 ATL patients were retrospectively reviewed. On CT scans, the presence of lung parenchymal abnormalities (10 patterns), enlarged lymph nodes, pleural and pericardial effusions, and subcutaneous nodules was evaluated by two radiologists in cooperation. According to the Shimoyama criteria, the patients were divided into aggressive ATL group (n=28, acute and lymphoma types) and indolent ATL group (n=21, chronic and smoldering types). Differences in the prevalence of the CT findings between the two groups were examined. In the indolent ATL group, CT scans of 10 patients who eventually underwent transformation to aggressive ATL were also evaluated.
resultsIn aggressive ATL, enlarged lymph nodes (68%) was the most frequently observed finding. Several patterns of lung abnormalities were observed, such as ground-glass attenuation (36%), bronchial wall thickening (32%), nodules (29%), and centrilobular opacities (29%). In indolent ATL, enlarged lymph nodules (24%) and bronchiectasis (24%) were relatively frequently detected. Overall, the incidence of abnormal findings was higher in aggressive than in indolent ATL, except for bronchiectasis. Patients with transformation to aggressive ATL frequently demonstrated enlarged lymph nodes (80%).
conclusionOn thoracic CT, enlarged lymph nodes and various lung and airway abnormalities, such as ground-glass attenuation and bronchial wall thickening, were observed in ATL patients, particularly those with aggressive ATL. Bronchiectasis was similarly found in patients with indolent ATL and aggressive ATL.
