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

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a cancer of the lymphatic system that typically presents with systemic B symptoms and lymphadenopathy, while hepatic involvement is rare, and initial presentation with liver dysfunction is uncommon. We report a case of a 47-year-old patient who presented with progressive jaundice and generalized weakness. His clinical course and laboratory findings suggested multiple possible causes, and due to diagnostic uncertainty, a liver biopsy was performed, revealing Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells consistent with classical HL. This case highlights a rare initial hepatic presentation of HL manifested as cholestatic jaundice and underscores the importance of considering infiltrative malignancies in the differential diagnosis of unexplained liver dysfunction, as well as the critical role of liver biopsy when noninvasive evaluations fail to provide a conclusive diagnosis.
