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: Waldenström macroglobulinemia is a low-grade B-cell lymphoma characterized by lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma infiltration of the bone marrow and immunoglobulin M (IgM) protein. Case Presentation: An 80s-year-old male presented to our hospital with chief complaints of weight loss and general fatigue. Computed tomography (CT) showed homogeneous tumor around the kidney with elevated soluble Interleukin-2 receptor, serum IgM, and β2-microglobulin levels. Histopathological analysis by ultrasonography-guided biopsy revealed dense lymphocytic proliferation, plasmacytoid differentiation, and Dutcher bodies, positive for CD20, CD138, and IgM, but negative for CD3 and CD5, consistent with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Bone marrow biopsy revealed infiltration of the lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. The patient received four courses of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone along with dexamethasone, rituximab, and cyclophosphamide therapy. Twelve months after treatment, CT revealed only slightly enlarged abdominal para-aortic lymph nodes. Conclusion: Malignant lymphoma in perinephric lesions is a relatively rare condition; however, a definitive diagnosis can be obtained by ultrasound-guided biopsy, allowing early initiation.
