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

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the bone remains an uncommon presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Primary lymphoma of the cranial vault is exceptionally rare. Here, we present a 62-year-old immunocompetent male presenting with the rapid growth of a left parietal scalp lesion and new-onset seizure. In addition to his imaging, which showed an extracranial, cranial, and intracranial mass with bony destruction, sagittal sinus involvement, and parenchymal invasion, his diagnostic angiogram demonstrated extensive vascular supply from both the right and left external carotid branches. Intraoperatively, we confirmed a frank invasion of the posterior sagittal sinus. After subtotal resection followed by R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone therapy, the patient continues to be disease-free at the 10-month follow-up. We report here a case of primary cranial vault lymphoma that very closely mimicked meningioma in many ways, with positive angiography and intraoperatively confirmed venous sinus invasion.
