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

backgroundNon-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) can involve extralymphatic organs, resulting in diverse clinical manifestations, especially if the endocrine organs are affected. This type of involvement can often be difficult to detect accurately. Until now, no patients with NHL and concomitant bilateral adrenal and hypothalamic involvement have been reported. The purpose of this article is to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma with bilateral adrenal gland and hypothalamic involvement so as to help physicians avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. CASE SUMMARY: We describe a case of a 52-years-old male patient with bilateral adrenal masses, who presented with a fever of unknown origin on admission. Subsequently, hypopituitarism of the anterior pituitary followed by posterior pituitary developed.

conclusionThis report demonstrates that, although synchronous involvement of two endocrine organs is rare in NHL, extra caution should be taken when dysfunction occurs in multiple endocrine organs.
