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

Burkitt's lymphoma follows a lymphogenous spread early in the disease. The central nervous system can be involved via a hematogenous route but involvement of the cavernous sinus (CS) is rare and can be misdiagnosed as other pathology of primary neoplastic, infective, or vascular origin. We present a case of a 73-year-old gentleman with painless jaundice and subjective heaviness to his eyes that progressed to partial ptosis of the left eye, complete ptosis of the right eye with diplopia, found to have disseminated Burkitt's lymphoma with bilateral deposits to the CS. Early recognition of Burkitt's lymphoma with CS involvement is important as it often signifies disseminated disease with implications on chemotherapy regimen, treatment outcomes, and survival.
