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

introductionPrimary gastrointestinal follicular lymphoma (FL) rarely causes intestinal stricture. We report two cases of small intestinal FL presenting with stricture. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1: A 63-year-old man presented with small intestinal obstruction. CT demonstrated ileal wall thickening and enlarged lymph nodes. Partial ileal resection confirmed primary ileal FL, immunohistochemically positive for CD10, CD20, and BCL-2. Case 2: A 79-year-old woman with a 7-year history of jejunal strictures underwent right hemicolectomy for ascending colon cancer and partial jejunal resection. Pathologic examination showed concurrent jejunal FL and colon adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical findings were the same as in Case 1. In both patients, postoperative positron-emission tomography-CT showed no residual lymphoma. Both were monitored clinically without chemotherapy.

conclusionsThese cases highlight an unusual presentation of follicular lymphoma as a cause of intestinal stricture. Surgical resection provided diagnostic clarity and relief of symptoms. Postoperative treatment was tailored to individual patient characteristics and residual disease status.
