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

Cardiac tumors range from benign to high grade malignancies. The incidence of cardiac involvement either by primary, or secondary tumors during autopsy is reported to be extremely low. Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type is an unusual type of lymphoma. The skin is the second most common site of involvement after the respiratory tract. We present a case of a 63-year-old male, who was recently diagnosed with ENKTL, nasal type, who received chemotherapy, and died without any evident cause. The corpse was referred for routine medicolegal examination. Macroscopical determination of the cause of death was not feasible and subsequent histopathological examination revealed heart infiltration by ENKTL that was found in vivo in cutaneous lesions. Similar infiltrations existed in the pancreatic tissue. To the best of our knowledge, myocardial infiltration of ENKTL, inducing severe myocardial lesions that eventually caused death, is rare, with limited cases reported in the literature.
