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.
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
Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. Infusion reactions are common during the first exposure but decrease with subsequent infusions. We here present our experience with a protocol for a 30-minute intravenous infusion of rituximab (SpeedR) to patients who have previously tolerated a 90-minute rituximab infusion. All patients were premedicated with 10 mg cetirizine and 1 g paracetamol (steroids were only given when part of a concomitant chemotherapy regimen). In this cohort 268 patients received a total of 940 intravenous 30-minute infusions with only nine patients having adverse reactions (all grade 1-2) which required little or no treatment. Out of the nine patients with reactions, seven were planned for more rituximab treatment and all of them could later continue with 30-minute rituximab infusions. We conclude that 30-minute rituximab infusions are a safe and efficient way to optimize workflow in the outpatient clinic and to give cost-effective treatment to lymphoma patients.
