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

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare type of large B-cell lymphoma characterized by selective growth in the lumina of small vessels in systemic organs. Renal involvement in IVLBCL is rarely reported. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is a powerful tool for the diagnosis of lymphoma, but physiologic FDG excretion in the kidneys makes the interpretation of the tracer uptake in this organ difficult. We treated a 71-year-old Japanese woman with infarct-like lesions whose lactate dehydrogenase was elevated; IVLBCL was thus suspected. FDG-PET/CT revealed diffuse FDG uptake of the bilateral renal cortex, but the patient's creatinine clearance was normal and proteinuria was undetectable by a qualitative urinalysis. The patient was diagnosed with IVLBCL based on a random skin biopsy. When IVLBCL is suspected, it is necessary to be careful about the renal cortex FDG uptake in order to avoid missing renal lesions.
