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

A 72-year-old Chinese male presented with unilateral left eye panuveitis, then diagnosed as bilateral T-cell primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (T-PVRL) through chorioretinal biopsy and immunohistochemistry. No CNS nor systemic involvement was found at diagnosis. Despite initiating intravenous and intrathecal chemotherapy and intravitreal methotrexate, the disease eventually spread to the fellow eye with subsequent recurrence and systemic metastasis. To our knowledge, no cases of T-PVRL treated in a silicone-filled eye were reported in the literature. T- PVRL is exceedingly rare, with most PVRL being the malignant B-cell variant. This case highlights the challenges encountered throughout the treatment course of this aggressive entity, including the administration of intravitreal methotrexate in a silicone oil-filled eye. The poor overall survival rate and grim prognosis of T-PVRL are highlighted. Therefore, we recommend prompt tissue biopsy and immediate initiation of systemic chemotherapy and intravitreal methotrexate.
