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

rationaleIntravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare form of large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnosis is challenging and frequently made at biopsy. Here we reported a case of IVLBCL limited to the central nervous system (CNS) presenting with progressive dementia and acute stroke, who was diagnosed by brain biopsy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 47-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital with a 6-month history of rapidly progressive dementia, and left limb weakness and numbness for 3 days. She was successively misdiagnosed with inflammatory demyelinating disease and stroke. Her condition deteriorated with elevated lactate dehydrogenase and multiple hyperintense lesions on the brain. DIAGNOSIS: She was diagnosed with IVLBCL limited to the CNS by brain biopsy.

interventionsBone marrow puncture and incisional random skin biopsy were not found neoplastic cells. Computed tomography scans were normal with no evidence of disease outside the CNS. OUTCOMES: The patient died due to rapid clinical aggravation. LESSONS: IVLBCL limited to the CNS is an aggressive disease with high mortality. Making a timely and correct diagnosis is crucial for early appropriate treatment in IVLBCL patients.
