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

Ocular adnexal lymphoma accounts for approximately 1%-2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 8% of extranodal lymphomas. Lacrimal gland lymphoma, especially bilateral lacrimal gland lymphoma, is rare, and imaging is often utilized to differentiate lacrimal lymphoma from other types of masses that involve the lacrimal gland and the fossa. We describe a 74-year-old male patient presenting with bilateral eye proptosis, lachrymose without pain, and no changes in eyesight. Brain-orbit magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral lacrimal fossa masses with regular contours, moderate enhancement, and restriction on diffusion imaging, consistent with a lymphoma diagnosis, which was confirmed by histopathological results. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography was used to determine lymphoma grading. MRI, especially diffusion imaging, can be useful for guiding clinicians in the diagnosis and differentiation of lacrimal gland lymphoma from other lesions.
