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

A 73-year-old man with a history of follicular lymphoma ten years ago with complete remission presented to the emergency room with a large unilateral left-leg swelling as the only symptom. Doppler ultrasonography ruled out deep vein thrombosis. Bedside point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) revealed left moderate hydronephrosis. A CT of the abdomen showed a bulky soft tissue mass in the region of the distal left psoas muscle. The mass was generating an extrinsic compression of the left ureter and venous system. The histological study of the lesion established the diagnosis of follicular lymphoma recurrence. The patient subsequently received immunochemotherapeutic treatment in the oncological treatment center. This case report is intended to promote awareness about a possible clinical correlation between unilateral leg swelling and hydronephrosis with a compressive intra-abdominal mass.
