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

Lymphoma of a dural genesis is a distinct variant of primary central nervous system lymphoma and is rare. It putatively has a more benign clinical course. Cranial primary dural lymphoma is more often marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, whereas spinal primary dural lymphoma is most commonly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.We report a male patient who presented with subacute progressive radiculopathy due to a compressive infiltrative lumbosacral spinal lesion. This was determined to be primary dural diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The radiology, therapeutic considerations and differentiating biological characteristics of primary dural lymphoma, differ from other primary central nervous system lymphomas.Primary dural lymphoma is under-represented in the medical literature. It has unique clinical characteristics. The optimal treatment algorithm remains undefined, but there is some evidence suggesting a benefit of surgical cytoreductive therapy in the first instance, and low-dose radiotherapy may be an effective adjuvant therapy in addition to chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic agents.
