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

rationaleDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most commonly occurring type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which may be found at various extranodal sites. The nose is not a common site for DLBCL as compared with natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, and synchronous pulmonary involvement is even rarer. We report a case of primary nasal DLBCL who presented with a mass in the left lower lobe, mimicking primary lung carcinoma. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 62-year-old Chinese female visited the Ear-Nose-Throat Department of our hospital with nasal congestion and rhinorrhea for 2 months. DIAGNOSIS: Computed tomography scan revealed a mass with soft tissue density in the left vestibule and nasal cavity. Histopathological examination revealed a large number of lymphoma cells, and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of DLBCL.

interventionsThe patient was treated with 6 cycles of R-CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisone, and rituximab). OUTCOMES: The treatment was well tolerated and led to complete remission for the patient. There was no sign of relapse over the 3-year close follow-up LESSONS:: DLBCL can be present at various extranodal sites and clinicians irrespective of their specialty must be vigilant for the synchronous mode of presentation of such lesions. Immunohistochemical techniques play a vital role in the diagnosis, because clinical characteristics may be misleading.
