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

Asian variant intravascular lymphoma (AIVL) is a rare type of intravascular lymphoma that occurs in Asian populations. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone selection (SIADH) frequently occurs in patients with AIVL. Because it remains difficult to diagnose and has a poor prognosis, markers for early diagnosis are required. Although lactase dehydrogenase (LD) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) are diagnostic candidates, these markers do not appear to have been used often in prior studies. We present the case of an 87-year-old Japanese man with AIVL complicated by unexplained SIADH with a complaint of anorexia. Computer tomography showed splenomegaly but no lymphadenopathy. Elevated LD and sIL-2R were detected in the blood. The patient was diagnosed with AIVL through a random skin biopsy and was successfully treated with chemotherapy. When a patient presents with SIADH, we should actively look at or measure blood LD and sIL-2R for early diagnosis of ALVL. Further cases are warranted to determine these observations.
