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 atypical expression of immune phenotypes in lymphoma is often associated with a poor prognosis and presents diagnostic challenges. The present study reports on a rare extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma. In addition to typical morphology and immunohistochemical characteristics, these tumors strongly express CD20 and CD30 and partially express CD15, which is associated with aggressive clinical behavior. Differential diagnosis should be cautiously approached in extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma because the abovementioned markers are typically expressed in B cell lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma. In addition to rigorous histological and comprehensive immunohistochemical staining, whole-body imaging and molecular testing can assist with diagnosis. In the present case, the patient died of multiple organ failure shortly after diagnosis. Lymphoma exhibits an atypical immunophenotype, thus emphasizing the importance of a thorough analysis of the interrelations among clinical, imaging and pathological features.
