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

purposeTo report two cases of vitreoretinal lymphoma that developed following primary testicular lymphoma and review the literature. OBSERVATIONS: Two men, one age 66 and the other age 77, both with a history of diffuse large B-cell testicular lymphoma, diagnosed one and three years previously, respectively, presented with vitritis and yellow-white subretinal infiltrates. Diagnostic vitrectomy in both cases revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Systemic work up in both cases showed no evidence of disease relapse elsewhere. Each were treated with intravitreal methotrexate injections.

conclusionsVitreoretinal lymphoma can occur following primary testicular lymphoma, and may mimic primary vitreoretinal lymphoma. Monitoring of patients with a history of testicular lymphoma with regular dilated fundus examinations should be considered.
