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

Introduction: The coexistence of renal cell carcinoma and classic Hodgkin lymphoma is exceedingly rare, with only two documented cases. Here, we present the third case diagnosed in our institution. Case presentation: A 46-year-old man presented with right flank pain, fever, mild pancytopenia, and renal mass on computed tomography scan, suggesting renal malignancy. Despite intravenous antibiotics and extensive workup for recurrent fever, his condition did not improve. A bone marrow biopsy revealed rare large EBV-positive B cells. Surprisingly, imaging only showed minimal intraabdominal lymphadenopathy in the perinephric region. Subsequent surgery confirmed clear cell renal cell carcinoma in the kidney and scattered large, atypical cells consistent with classic Hodgkin lymphoma in the suprahilar lymph node. Conclusion: This case presents a rare case of classic Hodgkin lymphoma occurring in the perirenal region. When clinicians encounter unexplained symptoms in patients with primary tumors, additional biopsies should be considered for possible secondary malignancy.
