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 visual pathway is rare, especially at the chiasm. Very few cases have been reported. The lesion is frequently confused with an optic-hypothalamic glioma. A 55-year-old man was found disoriented at his home by a friend and evaluated with a brain MRI which demonstrated an expansile mass located at the optic chiasm and hypothalamus level. The principal differential was a high-grade hypothalamic glioma due to the contrast enhancement. A biopsy of the chiasmal lesion was performed. Histological diagnosis of the lesion was compatible with a diffuse large B cell lymphoma. He was started on methotrexate and rituximab; however, his clinical course kept deteriorating, and he died 64 days after his presentation. All prior cases of primary lymphoma of the chiasm are reviewed.
