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

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a general term describing lymphoproliferative disorders that develop against the background of immunosuppression after organ transplantation, and that range from benign tumors to malignant lymphoma. PTLD is relatively rare after liver transplantation, and there are few cases of post-liver transplant lymphoma with lesions in the clivus. We here describe the case of a patient who visited our hospital complaining of diplopia after a liver transplant. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) revealed lesions with high FDG uptake in the clivus and throughout the body, and the patient was diagnosed with lymphoproliferative disease after liver transplantation. The diplopia was thought to have been caused by the clivus lesion infiltrating into the abducens nerve. In patients after organ transplantation, care must be taken to watch for onset of PTLD, and FDG-PET/CT is thought to be useful for its diagnosis.
