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

Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with poor prognosis, particularly in relapsed or refractory patients. Thus, timely detection of relapse and appropriate disease management are crucial. We present two patients with ENKTL, wherein positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with total-body coverage after induction therapy, detected newly relapsed regions in the bone marrow of the lower leg prior to progression. Case 1: A 47-year-old woman with nasal obstruction, showing 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the nasal cavity (Lugano stage IE). After induction therapy (RT-2/3 DeVIC), PET-CT revealed abnormal uptake only in the right fibula. Case 2: A 68-year-old man with a skin nodule/ulcer and an enlarged right inguinal lymph node was diagnosed with advanced ENKTL. A PET-CT scan revealed abnormal uptake in the subcutaneous mass of the right medial thigh, lymph nodes, and descending colon (Lugano stage IV). After induction therapy, PET-CT revealed new abnormal uptake only in the left tibia. In both patients, CT-guided biopsy confirmed ENKTL recurrence. Moreover, PET-CT with whole-body coverage was useful for the timely assessment of relapse and detection of asymptomatic bone involvement. This approach allowed for modifications to treatment strategies in certain patients.
