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

rationaleNasal-type extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma is a highly unusual disease with no standard curative managements yet. Our focus is to emphasize a very rare case of nasal-type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma with onset of the mass on the buttock successfully operated by combination of surgical excision together with chemotherapy. The management of these unique cases is of great clinical guiding significance. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 20-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of continuous and progressive severe pain on her left buttock. Since December 2017, the patient developed nasal congestion, accompanied with mild pain in the left eye, and new subcutaneous nodules on both cheeks. DIAGNOSIS: Postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma. This is an extremely rare presentation of nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma.

interventionsThe patient underwent enlarged resection of the tumor on the buttock. After the diagnosis of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma was established, the patient received chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. OUTCOMES: The patient's symptoms improved significantly after the surgery, and the postoperative period was uneventful at the 1-year follow-up visit. There were no complications associated with the operation and adjuvant therapies during the follow-up period. LESSONS: Taken together, the lesion's clinical features, imaging results, and pathological characteristics are unique. Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, although rare, should be part of the differential diagnosis when the patient presents with the mass on the buttock. We recommend enlarged excision of the extranodal lymphoma. Combined of surgical excision of the extranodal lymphoma, chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are good choice for proper treatment.
