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 cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT), is a rare and aggressive variant of primary cutaneous lymphoma that typically expresses B cells as well as MUM1/IRF4, BCL2, and FOXP1, whereas BCL6 may be present or undetectable. We present a case of CD5+ PCDLBCL-LT presenting as a 6 mm pink-bluish nodule on the mid-left thigh, which was concerning for basal cell carcinoma. The histological examination reveals the presence of an intradermal proliferation of large, atypical CD5+, CD20+ BCL2+, BCL6+, MUM-1+, and Cyclin-D1+ lymphocytes in a nodular, diffuse interstitial and perivascular distribution. Because the patient presented with a small, single nodule, the systemic treatment of multiagent chemotherapy was avoided and localized electron beam radiation therapy with rituximab was initiated instead, achieving complete response. Early identification of PCDLBCL-LT is key for maximal therapeutic benefit and prognosis; it is important to consider PCDLBCL-LT on the differential when evaluating small, single nodules on the lower extremities of elderly patients.
