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 present a case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the rectum in a 41-year-old African American male with a 1 year history of ulcerative colitis and no previous immunomodulatory therapy. The patient presented with a 10-day history of hematochezia, for which endoscopy was performed with gross findings indicative of ulcerative colitis flare. Tissue biopsy, however, demonstrated significant lymphoid infiltrating regions with histologic findings suggestive of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for less than 1% of all cases of colorectal cancer. Associated risk factors have been previously reported but, were absent in the patient's history. This suggests the possibility of distinct genetic abnormalities inherent to the tumor and/or an underlying germline mutation inherent to the patient that may have contributed to the premature development of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
