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

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare type of extranodal, diffuse, large B-cell lymphoma characterized by the selective growth of lymphoma cells within the lumen of small blood vessels, with no lymphadenopathy or masses. Herein, we report a cutaneous variant of IVLBCL that is rare in Asia. A healthy 73-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with painful erythematous indurations and telangiectasia of the lower extremities, which was confirmed on dermoscopy. Physical examination revealed no systemic involvement, and laboratory parameters were within normal ranges. No abnormal fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake was detected on 18FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography. Histopathological examination revealed proliferation and dilatation of blood vessels in the subcutis layer, occluded by CD20-positive atypical lymphoid cells. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with a cutaneous variant of IVLBCL without systemic symptoms. In conclusion, it is important to confirm telangiectasia using dermoscopy and perform skin biopsies in patients presenting with sudden-onset erythematous induration.
