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

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) accounts for 10-15% of pediatric and adolescent non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases, with lung involvement observed in 14% of cases. We present a case of primary isolated ALCL in the endobronchial region of a 14-year-old boy. He presented with fever, dyspnea on exertion, cough, and left chest pain. A chest X-ray revealed a complete cut-off of the left main bronchus, which was further evaluated by bronchoscopy, showing complete occlusion of the left main bronchus by an endoluminal mass. Bronchoscopy with electrocautery snaring was performed, and immunomorphological findings confirmed the diagnosis of primary ALCL of the left main bronchus. Clinical and radiological evaluation revealed no evidence of extra-thoracic disease. A standard chemotherapy protocol was initiated. ALCL is an uncommon neoplasm in the pediatric population and rarely presents as a primary lung tumor. However, when unusual pulmonary lesions are encountered, especially in children, ALCL should be part of the differential diagnosis.
