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

It has been shown that some cases of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) may present with pulmonary parenchymal involvement usually in the form of multiple irregularly marginated pulmonary nodules. Other radiographic patterns such as consolidation, interstitial infiltrates, and cavitary lesions are less common. We present a case of HL, nodular sclerosis type, with pulmonary involvement presenting as a large cavitary consolidation and axillary and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Initial diagnostic work-up including sputum culture, bronchoscopy, and a fine needle aspiration of lymph node was not conclusive favoring a reactive process with a presumptive diagnosis of cavitary pneumonia. A follow-up chest imaging revealed worsening right upper lung mass, axillary adenopathy, and new nodular satellite lesions, and a repeat bronchoscopy with multiple biopsies remained non-diagnostic requiring an excisional biopsy of the axillary lymph node confirming HL. Further transthoracic core biopsies of the cavitary lung lesion were consistent with pulmonary lymphoma involvement.
