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

Pulmonary nodules caused by mucosa-associated lymphomas (MALT lymphomas) are uncommon, comprising for less than 0.5% of all primary lung tumors. While biopsy is the main method for diagnosing the disease, the significance of differential pulmonary diagnosis based on imaging is often overlooked. In this report, we present a case of a patient with multiple disseminated nodules in the lungs, as well as severe anemia and incidental involvement of multiple lymph nodes. We discuss the differential diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphomas on computed tomography (CT) images and emphasize the significance of considering this uncommon entity in the evaluation of pulmonary nodules.
