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

Constitutional symptoms and lymphadenopathy are cardinal features of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), a malignant lymphoproliferative disorder. While mediastinal involvement is frequently observed, endobronchial HL is a rare and challenging presentation. We report a 23-year-old gentleman who presented with a persistent cough, weight loss and a large cavitating lung mass. Microbiological investigations yielded negative results but flexible bronchoscopy (FB) revealed multiple endobronchial masses. Subsequent pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of HL, mixed cellularity subtype. This case highlights the importance of considering HL in the differentials of endobronchial masses and lung cavities, particularly when initial investigations fail to identify a clear cause.
