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

In situ follicular B cell neoplasm, previously known as follicular lymphoma in situ, is a neoplastic proliferation of follicular lymphoma-like B cells confined to the germinal centers. Herein, we report a case of a woman in her 70s who initially presented with several enlarged abdominal lymph nodes. Seven months later during follow-up, a solitary pulmonary nodule was detected. As it was close to the hilum, lobectomy was performed. The intraoperative frozen section showed fibrosis and a collection of lymphocytes and macrophages. Therefore, the lymph nodes were sampled. Station 4 and 10 lymph nodes exhibited similar tumor cells and were immunohistochemically positive for CD10 and BCL2. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with in situ follicular neoplasm and is currently under observation. In situ follicular neoplasm is typically a slowly progressive neoplasm; however, it can present as a rapidly enlarging pulmonary nodule complicated by pulmonary aspergillosis.
