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

Jejunocolic fistula, a late complication of intestinal lymphoma, is a rare entity with only five reported cases in the literature. We report a young male presenting with a left lateral neck mass 5 years ago which then progressed to superior vena cava syndrome. Despite receiving radiotherapy and two cycles of chemotherapy, there was still tumour progression. He presented with a 2-week history of diarrhoea, haematochezia and weight loss for which antibiotics provided no relief. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy showed a jejunocolic fistula. After discussion with the multidisciplinary team, nutritional upbuilding was initiated followed by exploratory laparotomy with segmental resection and anastomosis. On histopathology, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involving the jejunum and colon was noted. Despite receiving palliative chemotherapy, he still succumbed to disease progression. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of jejunocolic fistulas among patients with intestinal lymphomas to facilitate early multidisciplinary intervention.
