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

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare type of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. MCL is most commonly identified in the gastrointestinal tract. Yet, many other extranodal sites have been described in the literature, including the rare instances of the primary site being the pleura of the lung. We present a case with a 73-year-old female who presented with a three-month history of unintentional weight loss, nocturnal fever, and night sweats. She had recurrent left pleural effusions; however, thoracentesis and pleural fluid cytology were negative for malignancy. A definitive diagnosis was achieved after the patient underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery. MCL presenting as a pleural effusion is rarely reported in the literature.
