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

Autopsy practice has been an invaluable tool to understand the pathobiology of various disease processes. We herein have given the description of a case of malignant extra-hepatic biliary obstruction secondary to a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient disease could only be adequately characterized at autopsy in the form of exact origin and subtyping of lymphoma. The autopsy revealed certain unattended and exciting, yet significant pathological findings in the form of portal vein thrombosis, neurolymphomatosis, the exact track of the lymphomatous cells from abdominal to thoracic cavity, and the terminal events which led to the patient's demise. The plausible clinical correlates of these pathological findings have been discussed. This can serve as a useful clue to the clinicians for managing such cases in the future.
