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 CNS lymphoma is an aggressive brain tumour. An accumulation of malignant cells around cerebral blood vessels may potentially impair the convection of cerebrospinal fluid within perivascular spaces. Recent evidence links an increased variation of the blood oxygen level-dependent signal, a marker for haemodynamic changes, to risk of mortality in lymphoma. In this study, we aimed to characterize the physiological source(s) of increased blood oxygen level-dependent signal variation in lymphoma and characterize the link between altered physiological pulsations and mortality. Thirty lymphoma patients (median age 66 years; 9 females) and 40 healthy age-matched controls (median age 62 years; 29 females) were scanned using an ultrafast functional MRI sequence. We extracted physiological brain pulsation frequency bands from functional MRI data: full band (0.008-5 Hz), very low frequency (0.008-0.1 Hz), respiratory (0.1-0.5 Hz) and cardiac (0.7-2 Hz). We compared the respective pulsation amplitudes between groups using non-parametric covariate-adjusted permutation tests and studied the link between region-specific pulsation amplitudes and mortality in receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) and survival analyses. The lymphoma group showed higher amplitudes in all brain pulsation bands (
