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 60-year-old woman presented with six months of abdominal pain, weight loss and diarrhea for which she underwent bidirectional endoscopies that were unremarkable. Over the next two weeks, she developed non-cirrhotic portal hypertension and presented with esophageal variceal bleeding. A diffuse large B-cell lymphoma encircling her celiac axis with a tumor thrombosis of the superior mesenteric, splenic and portal veins was found to be the cause of her portal hypertension. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed to control her variceal bleeding. She was started on R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) chemotherapy and after three cycles her symptoms have subsided, and a CT scan has shown shrinking mesenteric lymphadenopathy.
