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

aimTo determine the clinical characteristics, pathological types, tumor markers, treatments, and outcomes of Chinese patients with primary lacrimal sac lymphoma.

methodsThis case-based retrospective study analyzed 15 Chinese patients with primary lacrimal sac lymphoma. The clinical data collected included gender, age at diagnosis, symptoms, imaging examination results, pathologic diagnosis, pathogen identification, tumor markers, treatments, follow-up, and prognosis. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the patients. Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from surgery to the last follow-up, first record of tumor recurrence, or death.

resultsThere were 7 males and 8 females with unilateral primary lacrimal sac lymphoma in the left eye (

conclusionEarly diagnosis and treatment can lead to a good prognosis for most patients with primary lacrimal sac lymphoma. Mass resection combined with DCR can reduce the occurrence of post-surgical epiphora. The pathology type and tumor marker status are associated with prognosis.
