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

A 20-year-old Japanese man visited our hospital because an enlarged mediastinal shadow had been detected on chest x-ray. Chest computed tomography revealed a large mediastinal mass with multiple lymph node enlargement, pericardial effusion, and bilateral pleural effusion. He was diagnosed with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) based on a thoracoscopic tumor biopsy. Initial corticosteroid and celecoxib treatment was only partially effective; therefore, additional tumor rebiopsy and left axillary lymph node biopsy were performed. Based on the findings, the patient was rediagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). To date, there has only been one report of a case initially diagnosed as IMT and rediagnosed as CHL, as in our case, and only three reports of malignant lymphoma mimicking IMT. When IMT is suspected based on pathological findings and subsequently with treatment failure, possible CHL and performing rebiopsy should be considered.
