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

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a gradually progressing type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), distinguished by its characteristic follicular pattern of growth and a typically indolent clinical course. It is identified by the abnormal growth of B-cells in the lymph nodes. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who came up with complaints of heavy menstrual bleeding and easy fatiguability. Imaging studies revealed an accidental finding of a primary mesenteric mass. Infracolic omentectomy and a bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection were done, and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. Microscopic examination of the omental mass revealed a nodular growth pattern with prominent follicular structures composed of centrocytes and scattered centroblasts. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated positivity for cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20), CD10, and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2), confirming the diagnosis of FL. Thus, we report this rare manifestation of FL presenting as an isolated omental mass.
