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 a rare case of a 75-year-old man with a history of mild-to-moderate pericardial effusion that was detected on echocardiography performed in October 2011 when the patient was 69 years old. Follow-up echocardiography was performed every 6 months thereafter, showing that the pericardial effusion gradually subsided. However, in April 2017 he started experiencing several episodes of dyspnea, which prompted him to visit our hospital's outpatient department on June 22, 2017. Echocardiography revealed a large amount of pericardial effusion; thus, he was immediately hospitalized. After undergoing pericardiocentesis and drainage, 1740-ml of bloody pericardial fluid was collected. Serum antibody tests for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, and human herpes virus 8 were negative, whereas that for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was positive, indicating a prior infection. Cytopathological examination, immunocytochemical staining, lymphocyte surface marker analysis, and cytogenetic assessment were performed. EBV-encoded small ribonucleic acid in situ hybridization was negative. He was diagnosed with primary effusion lymphoma (PEL)-like lymphoma (LL) and was treated with 8 doses of rituximab 375 mg/m
