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

Marginal zone B cell lymphoma, which can sometimes resemble a meningioma, originates in the dura mater. Reports of marginal zone B cell lymphoma complicated by intracranial hemorrhage are rare. There have been five reported cases of dural marginal zone B cell lymphoma complicated by acute subdural hematoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of dural marginal zone B cell lymphoma diagnosed at the onset of a non-traumatic acute epidural hematoma. A 74-year-old man presented to our hospital with complaints of right hemiparesis without a history of head injury. He was diagnosed with left acute epidural hematoma based on the results of a computed tomography scan of the head; however, his serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor level was elevated (3,520 U/mL), and whole-body contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed intra-abdominal and bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed a well-enhanced, thickened dura mater with an acute epidural hematoma. The patient underwent a biopsy of the thickened dura mater and a hematoma removal, which on histopathology revealed dural marginal zone B cell lymphoma, as did a biopsy of an inguinal lymph node. After chemotherapy, the thickened dura mater shrank, and the marginal zone B cell lymphoma lesions showed remission. However, the mechanism underlying acute epidural hematoma in the dural marginal zone B cell lymphoma remains unclear. This case report provides new insights into dural marginal zone B cell lymphoma as a cause of non-traumatic acute epidural hematoma.
