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 78-year-old woman in complete remission of mass-forming primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) showed diffuse leukoencephalopathy as well as corticospinal tract lesions with intense gadolinium enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). She died 3 months later. In line with the MRI findings, pathological examination revealed dense infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells, consistent with a diagnosis of lymphomatosis cerebri (LC)-type PCNSL. This is the first report of LC in which the corticospinal tracts demonstrated robust contrast enhancement directly corresponding to the neuropathological findings, and it is also a rare instance in which LC presented as a recurrence of typical PCNSL.
