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

objectiveGastrointestinal tract lymphomas are currently detected more frequently due to advances in endoscopic technology. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of flow cytometric analysis of restricted light chain in endoscopic biopsy specimens for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract B-cell lymphoma. We prepared viable cell suspensions from unfixed specimens obtained from 10 consecutive patients who had a previous histological diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract B-cell lymphoma. We performed immunophenotypic studies with multi-color flow cytometry and assessed clonality through examination of immunoglobulin light chain expression exclusively in a population identified by anti-CD45 or CD20 antibodies.

resultsWe could perform light chain expression analysis with 2 endoscopic biopsy specimens from all 10 patients with gastrointestinal tract B-cell lymphoma. We conclude that flow cytometric analysis of endoscopic biopsy specimens is feasible and thus likely useful for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract B-cell lymphoma in clinical settings. Trial registration UMIN Clinical Trials Registry, UMIN000027730. Registered 12 June 2017.
