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 (CNS) mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare condition frequently mistaken for meningioma. Since these conditions require distinct treatment approaches, recognizing their imaging characteristics is essential for accurate clinical decision-making. A 69-year-old woman presented with headaches and forehead swelling, prompting MRI of the CNS. Suspecting an intracranial meningioma, the tumour board recommended surgical resection. However, histopathological analysis identified the lesion as a primary CNS MALT lymphoma. Follow-up revealed secondary cutaneous tumour infiltration, leading to a delay in adjuvant radiotherapy. Understanding the differential diagnoses of meningioma is critical for neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons to ensure appropriate treatment planning. This case highlights a misdiagnosis of meningioma that was ultimately identified as a primary CNS MALT lymphoma, emphasizing key imaging and clinical characteristics essential for distinguishing between the most important differential diagnoses of primary CNS MALT lymphoma.
