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 73-year-old woman presented with cervical lymphadenopathy. A biopsy of the affected lymph node showed the diagnosis of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). While treatment was planned, she developed rapid-onset consciousness disturbance and gait disorder 1 week before the initiation of therapy, leading to emergency hospitalization. Computed tomography showed a hypodense lesion in the midbrain, and a cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed ATLL cells, resulting in a diagnosis of central nervous system infiltration of ATLL. High-dose methotrexate plus cytarabine therapy was administered. However, this therapy was ineffective, and the patient died on hospital day 21. An autopsy showed that the midbrain tumor was an Epstein-Barr virus-positive primary central nervous system lymphoma. Although there have been reports of primary central nervous system lymphoma developing during the treatment course of ATLL, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of concurrent onset of both diseases.
