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

Background: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) originating in the brainstem is uncommon. In particular, PCNSL confined to the tectal plate in adults has never been reported in the past. The case of a 53-year-old man who was diagnosed with PCNSL in the tectal plate is reported. Case Description: The patient was referred to our hospital with a 1-month history of disorientation and magnetic resonance imaging showed hydrocephalus with an enhancing lesion in the tectum. Preoperative blood tests showed a high serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor level of 624 U/ml. Through a single burr hole, endoscopic third ventriculostomy and biopsy of the lesion were simultaneously performed with a flexible endoscope. The histological examination confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Conclusion: Malignant lymphoma of the tectum may occur in adults. By measuring the soluble interleukin-2 level preoperatively, it was possible to include malignant lymphoma in the differential diagnosis. In addition, the use of a neuroendoscope permits biopsy and hydrocephalus treatment to be performed simultaneously.
