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.
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
The present study aimed to investigate the curative effect of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) combined with teniposide (Vm26) vs. HD-MTX alone in the treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), in order to provide data for assisting decisions associated with clinical treatment. Data from 56 patients with PCNSL admitted in Shanghai Huashan Hospital (Shanghai, China) from January 2009 to December 2014 were included into the present study. Clinical data, curative effects and prognosis of patients in these two groups were retrospectively analyzed using SPSS 20 statistical software. In the HD-MTX+Vm26 group, 12 patients (42.85%) achieved complete remission (CR) and 10 patients (35.71%) achieved partial remission (PR), while in the HD-MTX group 7 patients (25%) achieved CR and 11 patients (39.29%) achieved PR (P=0.158). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 22 months in the HD-MTX+Vm26 group and 12 months in the HD-MTX group (P=0.019). The median overall survival time was 57 months in the HD-MTX+Vm26 group, and 28 months in the HD-MTX group (P=0.013). Compared with HD-MTX alone, the combined treatment of HD-MTX+Vm26 had an improved curative effect in the treatment of PCNSL, effectively controlled tumor progression in patients, prolonged survival time and improved prognosis. Age was an independent prognostic factor in patients with PCNSL. Patients with an age of ≤60 years exhibited longer PFS compared with patients with an age of >60 years.
