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 45-year-old female presented with a 15-day history of headache and blurred vision. MRI of the brain revealed multiple irregular, T2-hyperintense lesions with significant surrounding edema, central necrosis, peripheral rim enhancement, and corpus callosum involvement resulting in a "butterfly" appearance. These imaging features led to an initial radiological impression of multifocal glioblastoma multiforme. Subsequent histopathological examination of a brain biopsy provided a definitive diagnosis of CNS non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (CNS-NHL). The biopsy showed dense perivascular cuffing by atypical large lymphocytes with notable mitoses and adjacent edema. This report illustrates an imaging presentation of CNS lymphoma that differed from common patterns, particularly the prominent T2 hyperintensity within the enhancing rim and central necrosis, posing a diagnostic challenge resolved using histopathological analysis. The findings emphasize the importance of tissue diagnosis in cases with complex neuroimaging presentations suggestive of high-grade glioma.
