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

Chylous ascites is an extremely rare complication of lymphoma. Here, we discuss the case of a patient presenting with refractory chylous ascites due to a massive retroperitoneal follicular lymphoma, staged as IVB. The patient was unresponsive to chemoimmunotherapy, which prompted us to consider alternative treatment strategies. Low-dose radiotherapy was initiated and resulted in a marked decrease of the lymphadenopathy and complete regression of the peritoneal fluid. Low-dose radiotherapy represents a well-tolerated, highly effective treatment and should remain an important modality in cases of follicular lymphoma-associated chylous ascites.
