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

A 77-year-old man presented with right inguinal lymphadenopathy and swollen parotid and submandibular glands bilaterally. Histopathology revealed germinal center B-cell type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the inguinal lymph node. Lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration in the submandibular gland with elevated serum IgG4 levels (13 g/L) prompted a diagnosis of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Systemic chemotherapy for DLBCL led to shrinkage of the lymph nodes and disappearance of the submandibular gland swelling, as confirmed by fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography. Although concomitant IgG4-RD and lymphoma have been reported, their simultaneous diagnosis is rare; therefore, a biopsy of all involved organs is crucial in cases with unusual organ involvement.
