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

Background: Primary small intestinal lymphoma (PSIL) is a rare malignancy with heterogeneous clinical and pathological features, making accurate diagnosis challenging. Objectives: To investigate the clinical value of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) combined with endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of small intestinal lymphoma. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients with pathologically confirmed PSIL who underwent both DBE and EUS at the Department of Small Intestinal Endoscopy, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, between September 2022 and May 2025. Clinical data were collected and analyzed in combination with pathological findings. Results: A total of 21 patients were included (12 males, 9 females; median age of 52 years, range 31-87 years. Subtypes of B-cell lymphomas included diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ( Conclusion: DBE combined with EUS provides complementary morphological and structural information for the diagnosis of PSIL, improving clinical recognition and subtype characterization. Future multicenter studies with larger cohorts are warranted to validate these findings and establish standardized diagnostic protocols.
