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

A man in his mid-20s presented with a painless swelling over his right thigh, which had been progressively increasing over 3 years. He underwent an excisional biopsy for the same, which showed reactive lymphadenopathy. Since the last year and a half, he developed a lower abdominal wall swelling with mild redness over it. In addition, over the last few months before presentation to haematology outpatient clinic, he experienced bouts of fever, night sweats, anorexia, weight loss and right inguinal lymphadenopathy. On examination, splenomegaly was identified. In view of the patients' symptoms, he underwent a positron emission tomography scan, which showed hypermetabolic activity in the subcutaneous tissue sparing the lymph nodes and spleen. A deep skin punch biopsy taken from his right thigh was consistent with the diagnosis of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma αβ T-cell phenotype. The patient was treated successfully with oral steroids and on routine follow-up, he is in remission for 5 years.
