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

Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is an uncommon mature B-cell lymphoma characterized by monoclonal immunoglobulin M protein in peripheral blood and lymphoplasmacytic cells in bone marrow and/or extramedullary sites. The gastrointestinal tract is a rare site of involvement. The diagnosis is based on clinicopathologic findings, although somatic mutations, such as MYD88, can aid in the diagnosis. We present a patient with irregular stools diagnosed with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia involving the rectosigmoid colon by histopathology and immunohistochemistry on colonic biopsies, immunoglobulin M protein in serum, clonal plasma cells in bone marrow, and MYD88 mutation in colonic and bone marrow specimens.
