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 53-year-old woman presented with a 2-week history of headache and vertigo. Computed tomography revealed a hyperdense tumor, measuring 30 × 31 × 36 mm in diameter, in the anteromedial parts of the cerebellar hemispheres. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging 10 days later revealed an apparent extra-axial tumor with broad attachment to the medial tentorium cerebelli and rapid growth to a diameter of 40 × 41 × 46 mm. Cerebral angiography revealed no obvious feeding vessels or tumor stains. The patient underwent biopsy through the left occipital transtentorial route. The histological appearance was consistent with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Intracranial lymphoma may present as a dural tumor that mimics a meningioma. Rapid tumor growth incongruous with benign meningiomas should be assumed to be possible lymphoma, and prompt biopsy should be performed.
