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

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an extremely rare neoplasm arising from the heart (and/or pericardium) and should be distinguished from the secondary involvement of lymphomas from other parts of the body or other malignant tumors originating from the heart. In the present report, we present the case of a 40-year-old male infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and EBV (Epstein-Barr virus) suffering from palpitation, dyspnea for a month, and in whom echocardiography showed a mass in the right atrium suggesting atrial myxoma. A surgical excision of the lesion was performed, but, unexpectedly, a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was made according to the microscopic features and immunohistochemical studies.
