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

introductionPrimary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is a rare tumor. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the histopathological features of PAL at two tertiary hospitals. MATERIALS AND

methodsAll PALs diagnosed between January 2003 and February 2023 were retrieved. Pathology and immunohistochemistry slides were reviewed. Additional immunohistochemical markers were done in selected cases. Follow-up data were obtained.

resultsThere were 7 cases of PAL. The age range of the patients was 52 to 73 years (median 64 years; mean 63.3 years). There were 4 males (57.1%) and 3 females (42.9%). The clinical manifestations included abdominal pain nausea, vomiting, and loss of weight. There were 4 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 2 cases of high-grade B-cell lymphomas, and 1 case of follicular lymphoma. There were 5 cases that were unilateral and 2 cases that were bilateral, and both were high-grade B-cell lymphoma. During follow-up, the 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates were 50% and 33%, respectively.

conclusionPAL is a disease of the elderly, and DLBCL is the most common pathological type. The prognosis is generally poor. Further reporting of PAL cases might help in understanding this disease and could lead to improvement in its management.
