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 dural lymphoma is a rare subtype of primary central nervous system lymphoma. Primary dural lymphoma may be radiologically misdiagnosed as it shares similar imaging characteristics with several pathologies, including meningiomas and subdural or epidural hematomas. We present a patient who was originally diagnosed with a subdural hematoma following a syncopal episode on computed tomography. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrated heterogeneously enhancing dural-based mass overlying the left frontoparietal convexity associated with bidirectional dural tails, suggestive of a malignant meningioma. Neurosurgical histopathology revealed marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. This case represents the potential difficulty in diagnosing primary dural lymphoma, especially in the setting of uncertain clinical history and obscured imaging features.
