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

Due to overlapping clinical symptoms, it may be difficult to distinguish between Hodgkin lymphoma and tuberculosis. Repeated investigations, especially biopsy and histopathological examination, may be helpful to establish a correct diagnosis. Herein, we present a case of Hodgkin's lymphoma misdiagnosed as tuberculosis so we always need evidence-based medicine in our medical life. Abstract: Distinguishing between Hodgkin's Lymphoma and tuberculosis is challenging. A 23-year-old patient has been diagnosed with tuberculosis; based on clinical and radiological findings. After the therapy, her condition worsened. Cervical lymphadenopathy was detected. A biopsy was performed and the diagnosis was classical Hodgkin lymphoma. After the treatment, the patient improved significantly.
