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

backgroundChildhood intestinal lymphoma is characterized by its insidious onset and the absence of specific clinical symptoms. The thinner abdominal wall in children significantly aids in the ultrasound visualization of the abdominal cavity and intestines. Although many typical cases of intestinal lymphoma can be diagnosed through ultrasound, physicians often either overlook these values or assume that ultrasound has limited diagnostic value for intestinal lymphoma.

aimTo clarify the diagnosis of intestinal lymphoma and classify its severity using ultrasound, as well as to correlate this with prognosis.

methodsThe correlation between ultrasound diagnostic outcomes, laboratory indicators, and clinical prognosis was analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of ultrasound in assessing the severity of intestinal lymphoma and to provide new evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease in children. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the sonographic images and case data of 28 children diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma and confirmed by surgical pathology. Additionally, we sought to determine the correlation between ultrasonic classification of lymphoma, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) values, pathological classification, and prognosis.

resultsUltrasound was utilized to categorize 28 cases of intestinal lymphoma into focal segmental (15 cases) and extensive (13 cases) types. Ultrasound classification and LDH levels were significantly correlated with prognosis (

conclusionUltrasound can be used in the diagnosis and classification of intestinal lymphoma in children. Extensive intestinal lymphoma is associated with significantly elevated LDH and poor prognosis.
