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 assess the performance of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in discriminating the consolidation pattern of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma from lobar pneumonia. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study comprised 26 patients with pathologically confirmed consolidation pattern of pulmonary MALT lymphoma (12 men and 14 women; mean age, 59.4±12.1 years) and 36 patients with lobar pneumonia confirmed by body fluids or respiratory secretion culture (16 men and 20 women; mean age, 41.8±26.3 years). Two radiologists independently evaluated the CT images. The effectiveness of these variables in distinguishing lobar pneumonia from MALT lymphoma was analyzed using logistic regression analysis.

resultsThe average age of lobar pneumonia patients was younger than that of MALT lymphoma patients (

conclusionMiddle-aged, presence of mild clinical symptoms, bronchiectasis and bulging of the interlobar fissure on chest CT images are potential markers to distinguish pulmonary MALT lymphoma from lobar pneumonia.
