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

Plasmablastic lymphoma, an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome defining malignancy, is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is classically described in the oral cavity, the extraoral presentation being rare. Owing to its rarity and aggressiveness, plasmablastic lymphoma poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the treating physician. A 40-year-old male, recently diagnosed with HIV infection, presented with bleeding per rectum and spurious diarrhea. Examination revealed proliferative growth in the anal canal. Biopsy of the lesion was diagnostic of plasmablastic lymphoma. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were done to stage the lesion and assess the local extent, respectively. A multidisciplinary board discussion was done, and the patient was instituted on antiretroviral therapy and chemoradiotherapy. Following six cycles of chemotherapy and 25 fractions of radiotherapy, he achieved complete remission.
