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

backgroundSplenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and much little is known about its clinical characteristics and management strategies. Here we present a case of SMZL and review relevant literature to provide a better recognition of this disease entity. CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old Chinese female was admitted to our hospital with complaints of abdominal distension and acid reflux. Physical examinations and imaging investigations suggested the presence of splenomegaly. Laboratory workups revealed mildly reduced white blood cell count otherwise was not remarkable. The patient underwent splenectomy. Histological examination combined with immunohistochemical analysis of the resected spleen confirmed the diagnosis of SMZL. The patient recovered uneventfully during follow-ups.

conclusionsDue to the rarity and unspecific clinical features, SMZL is extremely challenging to be diagnosed preoperatively. Patients with SMZL are generally associated with favorable prognosis. Combining the staging characteristics of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and splenic primary lymphoma may assist in clinical staging management of SMZL.
