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

Peripheral nervous system involvement in lymphoproliferative diseases, often due to direct nerve infiltration (neurolymphomatosis, NL), is mostly seen in aggressive B-cell lymphoma. We report the case of an 88-year-old man with stage IVA DLBCL, who achieved the first complete response after six R-miniCHOP21 cycles. One year post-treatment, he developed severe neurological symptoms, and PET-CT revealed widespread relapse with extensive neural involvement. Treatment with tafasitamab and lenalidomide led to a complete morpho-metabolic remission and full neurological recovery, with minimal side effects. This case underscores for the very first time the efficacy and tolerability of this regimen in treating NL, highlighting its potential for frail patients unfit for more intensive therapies.
