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

purposeTo investigate the ultrasonographic features in patients with primary uveal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.

methodsMedical records of 12 patients (13 eyes) diagnosed with primary uveal MALT lymphoma between September 2014 and September 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Ultrasonography, B-scan ultrasonography, color Doppler flow imaging, and ultrasound biomicroscopy findings were retrieved from the medical records.

resultsMean age of the included patients was 59.4 ± 8.6 years. Typical ultrasonographic features of the choroidal infiltrates were flat, diffuse, and thickened, with low and homogenous internal reflectivity and with rich arterial blood flow from posterior ciliary arterioles. The mean thickness of the choroidal infiltrates was 1.34 ± 0.68 mm (n = 13). Most of the affected eyes had posterior episcleral extensions, with a mean thickness of 1.66 ± 1.21 mm (n = 12). Typical crescent-like posterior episcleral extensions were detected in nine eyes (69.2%). In six eyes, the blood flow from the choroidal infiltrates communicated with the episcleral extensions. In the ciliary body, the mean thickness of the infiltrates was 1.08 ± 0.43 mm (n = 9), and seven eyes (77.8%) had 360° ring-like infiltrations. The initial best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was significantly correlated with the final BCVA after treatment (p < 0.001).

conclusionMultipurpose ultrasonographic imaging revealed the unique characteristics of the primary uveal MALT lymphoma and is helpful in the diagnosis of this rare disease.
