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

Nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TCL) is a rare form of malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with a far more rare involvement of orbit. The orbital involvement has a highly variable clinical presentation. Here, we report one such case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with swelling in the right upper and lower eyelids with the diminution of vision for 12 days. He had a history of blocked nose for two months. Clinical examination and CT scan of the orbit and paranasal sinuses suggested a diagnosis of right orbital cellulitis with pansinusitis. A combination of intravenous antibiotics was started, and functional endoscopic sinus surgery was done. Histopathology was a suggestive of nasal NK/TCLl NHL. After proper staging, the patient was given chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There was a complete resolution of mass with no recurrence over a follow-up of 10 months.
