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

Secondary adrenal involvement by lymphoma is rare in adolescents, and Burkitt lymphoma in this location is exceptional. We report a 17-year-old male with no prior medical history who presented with 3 months of persistent bilateral flank pain and significant unexplained weight loss. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) demonstrated large bilateral adrenal masses with central necrosis and direct contiguous extension into the adjacent liver and kidneys, while adrenal function remained preserved. No residual adrenal parenchyma was identifiable. CT-guided biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirmed Burkitt lymphoma with diffuse CD20 expression and a Ki-67 proliferation index approaching 100%. The patient received the pediatric-adapted Lymphomes Malins B (LMB) chemotherapy protocol. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and aggressive behavior of adrenal Burkitt lymphoma in young patients and emphasizes the importance of early recognition, biopsy, and prompt initiation of intensive therapy.
