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

backgroundStudies suggested that the immunophenotype of hyaline vascular type Castleman disease (HVCD) lacked characteristics, which was easy to be confused with other diseases.

methodsFrom January 2010 to June 2022, 17 cases of HVCD were selected from the Department of Pathology of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital and the Department of Pathology of Shaanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital. 13 cases of reactive hyperplastic lymph nodes (RHL) and 11 cases of follicular lymphoma (FL) were selected as the control group. All cases were performed CD3, CD20, CD21 and BCL2 immunohistochemical staining.

results(i) In 17 cases of HVCD, the negative area of BCL2 of germinal center was significantly smaller than the negative area of CD3 of germinal center. However, in 13 cases of RHL, the negative area of CD3 of germinal center was basically consistent with the negative area of germinal center of BCL2 of germinal center. In 11 cases of FL, in neoplastic follicles, the negative area of CD3 was basically consistent with the positive area of BCL2. The difference between HVCD group and other two groups of diseases was statistically significant (P < 0.05). (ii) In 17 cases of HVCD, the negative area of BCL2 of germinal center was significantly smaller than the follicular dendritic cell (FDC) meshworks expressed by CD21. However, in 13 cases of RHL, the FDC meshworks expressed by CD21 were basically consistent with the negative area of BCL2 of germinal center. In 11 cases of FL, in neoplastic follicles, the FDC meshworks expressed by CD21 was basically consistent with the positive area of BCL2. The difference between HVCD group and other two groups of disease was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

conclusionsHVCD has unique immunophenotypic characteristics. The negative area of BCL2 of germinal center is significantly smaller than the negative area of CD3. The negative area of the BCL2 of germinal center is significantly smaller than the FDC meshworks expressed by CD21. These two immunophenotypic features in HVCD are very important in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
