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: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a monoclonal proliferation of lymphoid cells from B lineage. Although NHLs are primarily hematological tumors of lymph nodes but rarely can involve extranodal sites such as the spleen. Case report: A 29-year-old female patient presented with low-grade fever, cough, anemia, weight loss, tender left hypochondrium, and splenomegaly. A hypodense lesion in the spleen with central necrosis, having strong positivity for common leukocyte antigen (LCA), CD 20, and CD 10, led to a diffuse large B cell lymphoma diagnosis. The patient had an excellent clinical post-splenectomy response to combination chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Conclusion: NHL can present with symptomatic extra-nodal involvement without enlarged lymph nodes.
