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

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy and the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, typically presenting with lymphadenopathy. Pericardial involvement is extremely rare. We report the case of a patient who presented with cough and shortness of breath and was admitted for acute hypoxic respiratory failure. During hospitalization, the patient developed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR). Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a pericardial effusion, which increased in size on repeat imaging 1 week later. The patient subsequently underwent pericardiocentesis, and cytology of the pericardial fluid confirmed DLBCL, with the pericardium identified as the primary site of involvement. The patient was treated with mini-R-CHOP chemotherapy, resulting in marked clinical improvement.
