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

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the most common hematological malignancies having both nodal and extranodal sites of involvement. The thyroid gland is one of the rarest primary sites. Most cases of primary thyroid lymphoma are diffuse large B-cell in nature; thus, aggressive and in extreme cases can rapidly lead to airway compromise, especially in patients who have been living with goiter for years. We present one such case of a 64-year-old female who presented with signs of airway compromise, requiring emergent airway intubation and surgical debulking. She was treated with emergent chemotherapy (DA-EPOCH-R regimen), without radiotherapy and this resulted in complete remission.
