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

T-cell lymphomas are infrequently encountered in the head and neck area, with the most common subtype being Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL-NT). ENKTL-NT shows a predilection for midline facial structures presenting with ulcerative destructive lesions, whereas palatal involvement is one of the most prominent signs from the oral cavity. Herein, we describe a case of a 76-year-old Greek man with nasal obstruction and an extensive painful necrotic ulcer with ragged borders on the left distal portion of the soft palate and palatine tonsil of 4-months duration. After an initial non-diagnostic biopsy from the nasopharynx, a second incisional biopsy from the palatal lesions was performed. Histopathology was suggestive of an angiocentric lymphoproliferative neoplasm and immunohistochemical examination and in situ hybridization for EBV RNA led to a final diagnosis of ENKTL-NT. The patient was placed under combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy and no recurrence has been noted. Additionally, a retrospective review of the cases in the English literature with an established diagnosis of ENTKL-NT between 2000 and 2019, based on the latest WHO classification of Head and Neck tumors, is performed.
