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

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Extranodal involvement, including the gastrointestinal tract, occurs frequently. However, colorectal involvement is extremely rare. We present a case of a man in his 20s with prior renal transplantation on immunosuppression for 10 years who developed symptoms of gas and bloating associated with unintentional weight loss. Colonoscopy revealed a large fungating mass at the ileocaecal valve, and a biopsy of this lesion confirmed stage IV DLBCL. Endoscopy should be considered for early workup of vague gastrointestinal symptoms, even in younger patients, if they have been on long-standing immunosuppression.
