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

Many types of malignancies have been associated with immunodeficiency states, especially patients who are HIV positive. Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is one of those malignancies associated with HIV and it presents in three varieties. The endemic form is primarily seen in children, and it is associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In this form, patients with Burkitt's present with a large jaw mass. The second variety is seen in older adults. These patients usually present with abdominal and pelvic masses. This subtype is more prominent in the United States. The third variety of BL is seen in patients who are HIV positive. In this case report, we present an atypical presentation of BL secondary to undiagnosed HIV/AIDS with a very large tumor burden causing compressive symptoms. This case will further guide healthcare professionals in diagnosing BL, which presents uniquely in high-risk populations. This report will also serve as a review of the diagnosis and treatment options of BL.
