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

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the imaging and pathological features, treatment, and prognosis of patients with primary intraventricular lymphomas (PIL) in order to enhance physicians' understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of PIL. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 13 cases of PIL that were hospitalized in our institution. Clinical and imaging data of the patients were collected and compared with the pathology data to summarize and analyze the qualitative diagnostic value of magnetic resonance (MR) features. Results: Among the enrolled patients, there were nine males and four females, with an average age of (56 ± 9.0) years. The major clinical features observed in PIL patients were headache and dizziness. All 13 patients underwent plain and contrast-enhanced MR scans, revealing multiple foci in 7 cases and single foci in 6 cases. The lesions were located in the lateral ventricle in 10 cases, the third ventricle in 4 cases, and the fourth ventricle in 4 cases. Plain MR scans demonstrated an isointense or slightly hypointense signal on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and an isointense or slightly hyperintense signal on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). Contrast-enhanced scans showed uniform and consistent enhancement of the tumors. Surgical treatment was performed in all patients, and postoperative pathology confirmed the presence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Conclusions: PIL exhibits specific imaging and pathological features, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma being the main pathological type. Pathological examination and immunophenotype analysis serve as the gold standards for PIL diagnosis.
