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

We report on a 73-year-old male patient with recurrent thrombosis of his infrarenal aortic prosthesis. Histologically, the thrombus contained cells of an ALK-negative anaplastic large cell T cell lymphoma (ALCL). Imaging studies were negative for other lymphoma manifestations; however, 3 months before, the patient had developed skin lesions consistent with lymphomatoid papulosis type A (LypA) which were clonally related to the ALCL. Due to recurrent thrombosis of larger peripheral arteries with the presence of ALCL cells in the thrombi, the patient is now referred to systemic chemotherapy. We present the first case of ALCL manifesting in the thrombus of an aortic prosthesis. This case shows similarities to the well-established entity of breast implant-associated ALCL and anecdotal reports of ALCL occurring at the site of foreign material implants. These cells show a peculiar propensity to aggregate in vessels and thrombi, known primarily from subtypes of diffuse large B cell lymphomas associated with chronic inflammation.
