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

Background: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is a distinct pathological entity and accounts for ~10% of T-cell lymphomas. The histological features of ENKTCL include angiodestruction and coagulative necrosis and the association with EBV infection. ENKTCL is typically aggressive and mainly affects the nasal cavity and nasopharyngeal region. However, some patients can present with distant nodal or extranodal involvement such as the Waldeyer ring, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary organs, lung, thyroid, skin, and testes. Compared to ENKTCL of nasal type, primary testicular ENKTCL is very rare and has a lower age of onset and faster clinical progression, with tumor cell dissemination occurring early in the disease. Case report: Case 1: A 23-year-old man presented with 1 month of right testicular pain and swelling. Enhancement CT revealed increased density in the right testis, uneven increased enhancement, discontinuity of the local envelope, and multiple trophoblastic vessels in the arterial phase. Testicular ENKTCL was diagnosed by post-operative pathology. The patient underwent a follow-up Conclusion: Primary testicular ENKTCL is very rare in clinical practice, typically presenting as a painful testicular mass, which can mimic inflammatory lesions and cause diagnostic challenges.
