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 describe a unique presentation of Central Nervous System Burkitt Lymphoma. OBSERVATIONS: A 59-year-old male presented with new onset binocular horizontal diplopia five days after initial presentation with abdominal distension, weight loss, and night sweats. He was diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma with base of skull metastasis that was initially visible only on PET scan and subsequently resolved with chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive type of B-cell, non-Hodgkin, lymphoma that arises due to a translocation of the MYC proto-oncogene. Although central nervous system (CNS) involvement has been described previously with BL, isolated sixth nerve palsy as the initial sign of CNS metastasis is rare. Suspicion should remain high for metastatic disease in patients presenting with acute-onset neurologic complaints even when initial imaging is negative as timely treatment can prevent poor outcomes.
