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

introductionOcular adnexal lymphoma and vitreoretinal lymphoma are rare forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They are regarded as distinct disease entities due to the differences in molecular mechanism, management, and outcome. We present a rare case of conjunctival diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that developed to vitreoretinal lymphoma after systemic chemotherapy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 60-year-old man presented with a left salmon-colored conjunctival mass. DIAGNOSIS: A biopsy was performed, and histopathologic examination showed DLBCL. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD20 with increased κ to λ light chain ratio.

interventionsBone marrow biopsy also revealed DLBCL. Gallium-67 scintigraphy showed abnormal uptake only in the left orbital lesion. Ann Arbor stage was estimated as IV. The patient underwent systemic combination chemotherapy and immunotherapy. OUTCOMES: Four months after the last course of chemotherapy, primary conjunctival DLBCL relapsed, manifesting vitreous opacity. Diagnostic vitrectomy confirmed a diagnosis of vitreoretinal lymphoma. LESSONS: Conjunctival DLBCL and vitreoretinal lymphoma are both DLBCL. After systemic chemotherapy for conjunctival DLBCL, the lymphoma may relapse in intraocular sites as secondary vitreoretinal lymphoma.
