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

Primary Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast is rare, accounting for < 0.5% of breast cancers and ~2% of extranodal lymphomas. It often presents as a painless lump, mimicking carcinoma and complicating diagnosis. Case PresentationWe report a 65-year-old post-menopausal, hypertensive, and diabetic woman with a gradually enlarging left breast mass. Imaging revealed a suspicious lesion. Core biopsy suggested poorly differentiated carcinoma, but immunohistochemistry confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), activated B-cell subtype, with high Ki-67 (~90%). PET/CT showed localized disease. She received six cycles of CHOP chemotherapy, with rituximab added from the second cycle. Treatment was well tolerated. Follow-up PET/CT and biopsy demonstrated complete metabolic and pathological remission. ConclusionPrimary breast DLBCL is rare and easily misdiagnosed as carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry is therefore crucial for correct diagnosis. R-CHOP chemoimmunotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment.
