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

introduction and importanceDue to advances in diagnostic methods and human immunodeficiency virus, there has been a recent increase in cardiac involvement by lymphoma. CASE PRESENTATION CASE 1: 15-year-old HIV infected male patient presented with features of heart failure and cardiac tamponade. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed pericardial effusion and a right atrioventricular mass. The resected tumour was confirmed to be diffuse large b-cell lymphoma on histopathology. Unfortunately, the patient died few hours after surgery. Case 2: 30-year-old HIV infected pregnant female presented with features of cardiac tamponade. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed pericardial effusion with right atrial mass. The resected tumour was confirmed to be Burkitt's lymphoma on histopathology. She was successfully treated with chemotherapy. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Cardiac lymphomas are rare with most cases diagnosed on autopsy. However, advances in diagnostic methods has increased antemortem diagnosis with subsequent optimal management. Majority of the cases are of B-cell lineage, although T-cell origin has been reported.

conclusionA high index of suspicion of cardiac lymphoma should be maintained in the right clinical setting in order to receive adequate attention and management.
