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

Purpose: Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma (PGIL) is a rare cancer, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as the most common subtype. PGIL can be acute, requiring emergency surgery, or non-acute, allowing elective management. This article evaluates the clinical presentation, treatments, and survival outcomes of PGIL by comparing emergency and elective cases. Methods: A retrospective cohort study from January 2013 to December 2019 included patients with histologically confirmed PGIL, excluding secondary GI involvement. Survival distributions were performed using SPSS v.20 and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Among 33 patients, 54.5% were male, with a mean age of 69. The most common site of lymphoma was the small bowel (54.5%), with DLBCL being the predominant subtype (66.7%). Emergency cases comprised 57.6% of the cohort. Poorer survival was noted in emergency cases, with significant differences in survival by age ( Conclusion: Emergency surgery is often needed for PGIL, especially with small bowel lymphomas, which have poorer outcomes. Early diagnosis and elective care may improve prognosis. Further research should explore prognostic markers and standardize treatment.
