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

Primary dural Hodgkin lymphoma (PDHL) is an extremely rare subset of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Its existence is controversial, as Hodgkin lymphoma is not traditionally thought to arise from the central nervous system (CNS) or its meninges and only 0.02% of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma have any CNS involvement. We report a case of a 71-year-old Caucasian man who presented with progressive fatigue and sudden onset slurred speech, disorientation, and memory loss. Brain imaging identified a large extra-axial right frontal mass, and he underwent urgent subtotal resection. Pathology and subsequent workup revealed Stage IAE classical Hodgkin lymphoma of the right frontal dura, with no extra-cranial disease or leptomeningeal spread detected. The patient was subsequently treated with ABVD chemotherapy (completed 2.5 of 4 planned cycles) and 36 Gy in 20 fractions of consolidative involved-site radiotherapy (ISRT). He has been followed for 5 years with no clinical or radiological signs of recurrence. This is the second confirmed case of intracranial PDHL reported in the literature, with the longest follow-up for any case of PDHL.
