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

Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Its presentation in the larynx is extremely rare and may mimic tuberculosis and squamous cell carcinoma. Laryngeal ENKL is a rare form of NHL, often diagnosed at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis despite chemoradiotherapy. We report the case of a 26-year-old female patient with an eight-month history of fever, cough, hoarseness, and dysphagia. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed a mass protruding from the left posterior pharyngeal wall. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of laryngeal ENKL. The patient received CHOP chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide 700 mg, doxorubicin 50 mg, vincristine 2 mg, dexamethasone 20 mg), which was later changed to DeVIC (dexamethasone 40 mg, etoposide 70 mg, ifosfamide 1,000 mg, carboplatin 200 mg) with local radiotherapy. After completing treatment, the patient was readmitted four months later with multiple episodes of fever, hemoptysis, and odynophagia. Due to the inability to place a nasogastric tube, a Witzel gastrostomy was performed. However, the patient died from non-oncological causes.
