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

Colorectal lymphomas are very rare and are usually found in male patients between the fifth and seventh decade of life. Our patient was a 30-year-old male who presented with the complaint of epigastric pain and abdominal mass for the past three months. Physical examination was remarkable for soft solid abdominal mass extending from the right side of the abdomen toward the left side. Computed tomography showed a large lobulated mass in the right lower quadrant involving multiple loops of bowel. The mass measured 15.1 x 12.5 cm in transverse dimension and 16.2 cm in craniocaudal dimension. Colonoscopy showed a villous and fungating mass occupying the whole cecum and extending into the ascending colon. Pathology from the colonoscopy mass revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which was CD20 (cluster of differentiation 20) positive. He was started on rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy regimen and is following at the oncology outpatient department. A combination of surgical resection and chemotherapy is used in treating patients with colorectal lymphoma.
