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

backgroundLymphoplasmacytic lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, occurring mostly in the elderly. It develops slowly and leads to malignant proliferation of lymphoid line cells in the bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen. It may also affect nerve roots and meninges; some patients develop sensorimotor polyneuropathy which may precede general symptoms of lymphoma. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a 36-year-old man diagnosed in 2012 with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), then he was hospitalized in 2019 due to progressive symptoms of heart failure and significant weight loss over the previous four months. Based on clinical and laboratory findings a diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma was suspected and confirmed by bone marrow flow cytometry. There was no improvement in the results of laboratory tests and the patient's condition after immediate implementation of chemotherapy. Patient died on the fifth day of treatment.

conclusionWhile CIDP and malignant disease co-occurrence is rare, it should be suspected and investigated in patients with atypical neuropathy symptoms.
