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

A 54-year-old man with hepatitis C cirrhosis presented with apparent spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, but further work-up confirmed the diagnosis of fluid overload-associated large B-cell lymphoma (FOA-LBCL). FOA-LBCL is a recently recognized entity with limited data on pathogenesis and treatment. Flow cytometry and cytological evaluation of ascitic fluid were key in establishing the diagnosis, whereas peripheral blood flow cytometry and imaging studies helped to exclude alternate infectious causes and secondary involvement by other lymphomas. We report a unique case of FOA-LBCL requiring multidisciplinary diagnosis and management.
