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: To explore the relationship between the initial size and the necrotic rate of lymph nodes evaluated by ultrasound in patients with cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (CTL) and therapeutic response. Methods: Overall, 55 patients were included in this study. Conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination were performed before anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. Based on the different therapeutic outcomes, they were divided into responder groups (n = 39) and non-responder groups (n = 16). The relationship between the initial size (maximum area, length diameter, short diameter), rate of necrosis, and therapeutic response were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results: There was a significant difference in maximum area, short diameter and rate of necrosis of lymph nodes between the responder groups and the non-responder groups ( Conclusion: The initial maximum area and short diameter of lymph nodes were found to have a negative correlation with chemotherapy response in patients with CTL. The treatment outcomes are typically unsatisfactory for lymph nodes exhibiting an initial necrosis rate of 50% or higher. These findings may be helpful for evaluating therapeutic response.
