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

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a malignant tumor known to cause direct mass effects and various paraneoplastic syndromes. However, paraneoplastic vasculitic peripheral neuropathy is rarely associated with PCNSL. In this case report, we describe a patient with PCNSL who presented with probable paraneoplastic vasculitic peripheral neuropathy. The patient initially experienced recurrent pain and weakness in bilateral lower limbs for two years, followed by a sudden decline in consciousness over two days. A biopsy of the right sural nerve revealed probable vasculitic peripheral neuropathy, and the diagnosis of PCNSL was confirmed through brain biopsy.
