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

Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM) is a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma which can rarely transform into diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Usually, the diagnosis of WM precedes DLBCL. A 79-year-old male presented to the hospital for worsening dysphagia and shortness of breath due to a rapidly growing base of tongue mass detected by CT scan. The mass was thought initially to be isolated DLBCL, though incidentally, markedly elevated IgM titers were noted. Biopsy of bone marrow and mass were consistent with histological transformation of WM to DLBCL. Response to treatment was assessed by the size of tongue mass on interval CT scans and IgM levels, both of which responded rapidly to chemotherapy. However, the patient developed early CNS relapse, consistent with the overall poor prognosis of transformed WM.
