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

Follicular lymphoma (FL) usually has an indolent course and presents with painless, waxing and waning lymphadenopathy in the absence of systemic symptoms. It is uncommon for FL to present outside of lymph nodes, although it can develop in the gastrointestinal tract, skin, thyroid, and testes. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in FL is rare. Most CNS lymphomas are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, although Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, and peripheral T-cell lymphoma are also observed. These tumors usually involve white matter but may also involve gray matter. Lymphomas of the dura are very uncommon and are usually mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. Here, we present a case of FL of the dura arising in a 62-year-old woman that was responsive to chemotherapy. According to a literature review, there have been 15 previously reported cases of FL of the dura. Dural FL has been most frequently treated with radiation and chemotherapy. Patients were still alive in all cases in which follow-up was reported. Although the sample size is small, these data suggest that dural FL, like other forms of FL, is an indolent disease that is associated with prolonged survival despite usually being incurable.
