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

Epstein-Barr virus positive inflammatory pseudotumor follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (EBV+ FDCS) is a rare indolent neoplasm that presents primarily in the spleen and liver. We display a case of EBV+ FDCS in the spleen, its clinic-pathologic properties, and treatment. Our patient was evaluated following an incidental finding of a splenic mass on imaging after a traumatic injury. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging both confirmed a well-circumscribed lesion in the spleen. Consequently, the patient underwent a robotic-assisted diagnostic splenectomy. Histologic examination revealed portions of spleen with partial effacement of tissue architecture by a well-circumscribed nonencapsulated mass displaying atypical, spindled cells-positive for EBER (CISH), EBV LMP1, smooth muscle actin, and clusterin-mixed inflammatory elements, and interspersed small lymphocytes.
