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

introductionPrimary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a rare clinical entity, and the "bone marrow-liver-spleen" type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is rarer, with only a few published cases in literature. Though bone marrow-liver-spleen-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma has unique presentations such as fever, cytopenias, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, no cases with cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old Sri Lankan woman, previously healthy, presented with shortness of breath, productive cough, and fever for 4 days. Examination revealed pallor, icterus, and massive hepatosplenomegaly with no peripheral lymphadenopathy. Further investigation revealed pancytopenia (hemoglobin 58 g/L, white blood cell count 1.73 × 10

conclusionThough there are reported cases of primary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting with cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia, no such cases of bone marrow-liver-spleen-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma have been reported. As this unique entity has a rather grim prognosis, it is of utmost importance to identify it early and treat aggressively. Owing to the limited availability of published accounts of this uncommon disease, we believe it is important to document our case to add to the understanding of this rare condition and its various presentations, which can easily be misinterpreted.
