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

Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) is a primary intestinal T-cell lymphoma, previously known as enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) type II. Its clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features distinguishing it from the more common EATL (previously EATL type I) made it a separate entity. Unlike EATL, MEITL typically is noted in Asian, Hispanic, and indigenous populations; it is rarer in native European and Caucasian populations. Due to its poor prognosis, it needs to be distinguished from inflammatory diseases and less aggressive T-cell lymphomas. We present an unusual case of MEITL in a Caucasian patient who developed nonspecific GI symptoms and was diagnosed with MEITL of the jejunum, mesenteric lymph nodes, and multiple extraintestinal sites based on histology, immunophenotype, molecular testing, and imaging. Despite aggressive treatment, he expired about seven months after the definitive diagnosis.
