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

Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare disease, and the subtype of Burkitt lymphoma presenting as a sole CNS lesion is an even rarer diagnosis. Acute sudden blindness is a rare presenting symptom of PCNSL or NHL in general. We present an interesting case of a four-year-old boy with dysmorphic features whose visual examination showed a sudden bilateral loss of vision. There was bilateral eye proptosis and complete ptosis. Extraocular muscles were fixed straight. The pupils were fixed and mid dilated bilaterally and there was grade 3/4 papilledema in both eyes. Neuroimaging showed a mass in the base of the skull, extending to orbits and sinuses. A cervical biopsy of the enlarged lymph nodes was taken and a histopathological diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma was made. Genetic analysis showed a
