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

backgroundPrimary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) mainly comprises mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma as well as other subtypes of lymphoma. Different phenotypes of PPL demonstrate various high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) features. We aimed to evaluate the value of HRCT in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PPL, especially between MALT lymphoma and non-MALT lymphoma and the correlation between CT and pathological features.

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis on 72 patients with PPL confirmed by pathology between 2007 and 2016. We compared the CT characteristics and correlation with pathological findings between MALT lymphoma and non-MALT lymphoma groups.

resultsAll 72 patients with PPL were classified into two groups: low-grade MALT lymphoma (MALToma) (56/72) and high-grade non-MALT lymphoma (non-MALToma) (16/72). The latter group consisted of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (8/72), Hodgkin's lymphoma (3/72), T-cell lymphoma (4/72), and intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (1/72). A total of 168 lesions were analyzed, including 57 cases with multiple lesions and 15 cases with single lesion. The manifestation of four distribution patterns: nodular or mass-like involvement pattern, diffuse interstitial lung disease (DILD) pattern, pneumonia-like consolidative pattern and mixed pattern was not significantly different between MALToma and non-MALToma (all P>0.05). Signs of air bronchogram and CT angiogram occurred significantly more often in individuals with MALToma group than those with non-MALToma (75%

conclusionsHRCT imaging phenotypes were beneficial in the diagnosis of PPL. Solitary or multifocal nodules/masses and consolidation were the most common imaging patterns. The air bronchogram sign, CT angiogram sign, halo sign, and butterfly sign could be potential to help to differentiate MALToma from non-MALToma.
