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 lymphoma of the liver is extremely rare, and is more common among immunocompromised patients. It typically occurs after the fifth decade of life and has a male predominance. It often presents with diagnostic difficulties to both clinicians and pathologists as most cases have a solitary or multiple mass lesions in the liver with normal alpha-fetoprotein levels. Chemotherapy is the standard of therapy. Here, we describe a unique case of primary hepatic lymphoma in an elderly immunocompetent female who presented with symptomatic hypercalcemia.
