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

purposeThis study aims to comprehensively characterize the clinical, demographic, and histopathological features of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) and assess their impact on patients' survival outcomes.

methodsA total of 123 patients were included in the study; of these, 93 patients were selected for survival analysis. Survival data were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier test, and correlation was assessed through the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis.

resultsThe median age at presentation was 56 years. Furthermore, 98% of patients had primary OAL. The orbit was the most common site of involvement. The majority of patients were of B-cell origin (98%), and only 2% of patients had T-cell lymphoma. In addition, 83% of patients were treated with chemotherapy, and with a median follow-up of 38 months, complete remission was achieved in 48% of patients. The median progression-free survival was 26.4 months. The presence of disseminated disease was strongly linked to an unfavorable prognosis ( P < 0.001) and reduced survival ( P = 0.037).

conclusionThe 5-year overall survival of the entire study cohort was 81%. The prognosis for OAL is found to be favorable, but the presence of dissemination serves as a notable predictor for poor prognosis.
