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

The rare diffuse B-cell lymphoma subtype of primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) typically presents with nonspecific symptoms. Many of these symptoms overlap with those reported in cases of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). However, despite the overlap in symptomatology, the two CNS tumors exhibit distinctly different imaging findings on MRI, which aids in diagnosis. Here, we present a rare case of the diffuse B-cell lymphoma subtype of PCNSL in the anterior right frontal lobe, initially diagnosed as GBM due to specific imaging findings. The diagnosis was corrected to PCNSL following biopsy and resection.
