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

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)/high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements ("double-hit" lymphoma) is an uncommon subtype of mature B-cell lymphoma characterized by the concurrent rearrangements of MYC and BCL2 oncogenes. Rarely, aggressive high-grade lymphomas manifest as compartment syndrome, necessitating urgent surgical intervention. Here, we describe a case of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with an unusual presentation of compartment syndrome. Case Description: A 68-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with increased swelling and pain in her right leg, was subsequently diagnosed with right thigh compartment syndrome, and underwent urgent fasciotomy followed by repeat debridement in the medical wound closure. Additionally, the patient was found to have inguinal and external iliac lymphadenopathy along with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Her past medical history included human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which was well-controlled with bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide. Excisional biopsy of the right thigh muscle and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis confirmed the diagnosis of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with Conclusions: High-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements represents an aggressive lymphoma with a poor prognosis. The unusual manifestation of this lymphoma involving skeletal muscle and presenting as compartment syndrome is rare. Unfortunately, the patient passed away shortly after undergoing debridement surgery. This case highlights the importance for clinicians to be vigilant and attentive to atypical presentations, as delays in diagnosis and treatment can have significant consequences. Early recognition and prompt intervention are crucial in saving the patient's life.
