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

purposeTo present our experience of cases of primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) found between January 2002 and July 2018, focusing on the radiological features and the differential diagnosis in order to contribute to the difficult role of the radiologist in the disease identification and to help the clinicians to reach the diagnosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsCT scans of 30 patients (14 men and 16 women, aged 58-86, mean age 72 years) with PPL were retrospectively reviewed. All patients had a histopathological confirmation of the disease: MALT lymphoma (23 patients, 76.6%); diffuse large B-cell lymphoma-DLBCL (seven patients, 23.4%). All the staging CT scans were evaluated by three experienced radiologists dedicated to thoracic disease in order to radiologically define the predominant pattern of presentation.

resultsThe following parenchymal patterns were observed: 11 patients with single/multiple nodules, five with masses/mass-like consolidations, 14 with consolidations with air bronchogram, 16 with ground-glass opacity, ten with angiogram sign, 22 with perilymphatic and/or peribronchovascular spread, 15 with associated lymphadenopathies, and 13 with pleural/chest wall involvement. The main characteristics of PPLs were the presence of consolidations and ground-glass opacities, with perilymphatic and/or bronchovascular spread.

conclusionAll the characteristics of the work should alert the radiologist to consider lymphoma among the possible differential diagnoses, always correlating the results of the CT examination with appropriate clinical laboratory evaluations.
