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

Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) is a rare and aggressive form of peripheral T-cell lymphoma originating from intestinal epithelial lymphocytes and is associated with a poor prognosis. We present the case of a 50-year-old woman who developed a gastrointestinal perforation, initially suspected to be due to ovarian cancer with peritoneal dissemination. The patient underwent laparoscopic adnexal resection and laparotomy for the intestinal perforation. Postoperative pathology confirmed that the cause of the intestinal perforation and enlarged adnexa was MEITL. Prompt chemotherapy was administered, followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Despite rapid disease progression, effective management led to favorable treatment outcomes. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial to improve the prognosis of patients with MEITL.
