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 central nervous system (CNS) ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare and enigmatic disease, with limited data available in the literature. This case report adds to the existing body of knowledge by describing a unique case of a 68-year-old, immunocompetent male who presented with a single ring-enhancing lesion, which upon further analysis proved to be an ALK-negative ALCL that was primary to the CNS. A comprehensive review of the existing literature is provided, highlighting the genetic characteristics and diverse neuroimaging findings of this disease entity. This report adds valuable information to the understanding of this rare disorder, and highlights the need for further research in the field of primary CNS ALK-negative ALCL.
