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

backgroundPrimary lymphomas of the female reproductive tract are rare and the ovarian extranodal presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) accounts for only 0.5% of all NHLs and 1.5% of all ovarian malignancies.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the institutional medical oncology database for newly diagnosed NHL cases between 1999 and 2017. We aimed to study the clinical characteristics, pathology, and outcome of primary ovarian non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cases presented to our institution.

resultsWe identified three patients (3.7% of extranodal NHLs and 0.85% of all NHL patients) with primary ovarian NHL from 350 NHL patient records. They underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by six to eight cycles of (rituximab, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone (R-CHOP/CHOP), and they attained complete remission.

conclusionGiven the heterogeneity of cancer incidence in India and the absence of state-wise cancer registries, our study argues a pressing need to develop a national representative registry for NHL for accurate incidence, mortality, and survival data. Additionally, fertility preservation is an important issue that must be discussed with women of fertile age and the parents of children.
