Characteristics of Extranodal NK/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type, Compared with Nasal Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma.

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.
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: Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL), is an aggressive tumour with poor prognosis. Its early diagnosis may improve the prognosis of patients; however, it is often overlooked in many cases and misdiagnosed as an inflammatory sinus disease during its initial stage. Identifying the clinical characteristics of ENKL may aid otorhinolaryngologists in indicating cases early for a pathologic examination. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of ENKL compared with that of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is the most common nasal malignant lymphoma. Methods: The backgrounds, clinical symptoms, blood test results, and computed tomography images of patients with nasal/paranasal malignant lymphoma in our hospital between 2012 and 2017 were investigated. The characteristics of ENKL and nasal DLBCL were compared to differentiate them. Results: A total of 27 patients with nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinus lymphoma were included. Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, was diagnosed in 10 patients, while DLBCL was diagnosed in 17 patients. The median age of patients with ENKL was significantly lower than that of patients with DLBCL. All patients with ENKL had a unilateral lesion in the nasal cavity, with most located at the inferior turbinate. They also experienced nasal symptoms with significantly higher incidence of nasal obstruction and tendency of bleeding. Conclusion: ENKL was often unilateral and caused nasal obstruction, unlike DLBCL. Those who are younger in age and have sinonasal tumour with unilateral nasal obstruction and bleeding should be considered for early and repeated biopsies at multiple sites, with ENKL taken into consideration.
