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

A 63-year-old female who presented with bilateral panuveitis suspicious for a neoplastic etiology, underwent diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy of her right eye. Cytology was negative and flow cytometry did not reveal evidence of B-cell lymphoma. PCR revealed T-cell Receptor Gamma (TRG) clonal peaks and NGS demonstrated mutations in the DNMT3A and MAP2K1 genes. Systemic oncologic surveillance was inconclusive, but flow cytometry of peripheral blood revealed an expansion of aberrant T-cells. Subsequent vitreous biopsy of the fellow eye revealed identical TRG clonal peaks, and T-cell flow cytometry immunophenotype results were similar to those in peripheral blood, with a TRBC1 monotypic pattern, consistent with a diagnosis of bilateral T-cell vitreoretinal lymphoma. T-cell vitreoretinal lymphomas present a diagnostic challenge, which can often delay treatment. This case highlights the usefulness of molecular techniques, such as PCR, flow cytometry and NGS, to complement conventional diagnostic techniques.
