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

The concomitant occurrence of tuberculous adenitis and Hodgkin lymphoma is rare, posing a diagnostic dilemma since both have similar symptoms, such as lymphadenopathy, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. We reported such a case in a 15-year-old girl who presented with fever and neck swelling and was found to have lymphadenopathy. A biopsy of the right supraclavicular lymph node showed Reed-Sternberg cells and stained positive for acid-fast bacilli and tuberculosis culture. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculous adenitis with concurrent Hodgkin lymphoma in the same lymph node. She was started on anti-tubercular medications and chemotherapy and showed clinical improvement. This case highlights the need for suspicion in order to identify these two disorders in the same patient, since missing one of them is possible and may lead to fatal complications.
