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

backgroundPrimary pulmonary MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma is a rare entity that imposes a rigorous and demanding diagnostic work-up. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 74-year-old female non-smoker with a previous healed pulmonary tuberculosis and a history of arterial hypertension and fibromyalgia. She was referred to the pulmonology clinic to investigate a right inferior lobe (RIL) rounded pulmonary opacity (4 × 3.4 cm) identified on a previous thoracic CT scan performed for unrelated reasons. The remaining findings were non-specific and included small calcified mediastinal and hepatic adenopathies and multiple calcified hepatosplenic foci. The

conclusionThe authors present this case to highlight this rare entity, which is particularly challenging to diagnose due to non-specific multimodality imaging features, frequently implying more invasive procedures and surgical biopsy for a final diagnosis.
