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

Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are rare CNS tumors that harbor a conspicuously longer diagnostic delay compared to other malignant brain tumors. The gold standard for diagnosis is stereotactic biopsy to acquire tissue for histopathological analysis and therefore neurosurgery plays a central role when reducing the diagnostic period is mandated. However, histopathological diagnosis could be complicated if the patient was preoperatively exposed to corticosteroids. Besides the histopathological result, diagnosis of a PCNSL also requires full diagnostic workup to exclude cerebral metastatic disease of a systemic lymphoma. Most reviews of PCNSL discuss recent advancements in systemic treatment options from an (neuro-)oncologic viewpoint, whereas our intention was to discuss the optimization of the diagnostic period and therefore describe current standards of imaging, summarizing the diagnostic workup, discussing the surgical workup and future diagnostic prospects as well as the influence of preoperative corticosteroid therapy to reduce the diagnostic delay of PCNSL patients.
