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 lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) manifesting in the brain, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid and/or eyes, in the absence of systemic manifestations. With an increasing incidence and a 30% 5-year overall survival if promptly treated, timely diagnosis and subsequent treatment is paramount. The typical MRI appearance for PCNSL is a solitary or multiple T2-hypointense, homogeneous gadolinium-enhancing lesion with restricted diffusion. Dexamethasone treatment might compromise and delay the diagnosis. Hallmark of treatment is induction with intravenous high-dose methotrexate consisting polychemotherapy followed by consolidation treatment. Consolidation treatment consists of either whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) or autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Given the (cognitive) side effects of WBRT, ASCT is increasingly being used as the first choice of treatment.
