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

Introduction: Primary lymphoma of the colon and rectum is an uncommon form of cancer comprising less than 0.5% of all colorectal tumors combined. Typically, extra nodal lymphomas manifest in the gastrointestinal tract, with non - Hodgkin lymphoma being the most frequent subtype and the stomach being the most common location. Case presentation: 70 year old female with medical history of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis was evaluated for bilateral leg rash and thrombocytopenia. Eventual work up revealed cecal mass but inconclusive findings on colonoscopy. She underwent hemicolectomy due to persistent thrombocytopenia with histopathology positive for primary Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). She underwent chemotherapy with complete resolution of her mass and lymphadenopathy. Conclusion: We are presenting a rare case of Non - Hodgkin lymphoma in the colon. This disease can show up with unclear symptoms, so it's important to use different types of imaging and pathology tests to identify the specific type of lymphoma. The main treatment for this type of cancer involves using chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
