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

backgroundCastleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder most commonly occurring in the mediastinum and hilar regions. Mesenteric involvement is rare, and diagnosis primarily relies on histopathological examination. CASE SUMMARY: We report two cases of mesenteric CD with gastrointestinal symptoms accompanied by weight loss. Case 1 underwent complete surgical resection of the lesion. Postoperative pathology confirmed the hyaline vascular type, and the prognosis was favorable. Case 2 also underwent complete surgical resection initially, with postoperative pathology confirming the plasma cell type. However, the disease followed an aggressive course. A second surgery was performed five months later, and postoperative pathology confirmed mesenteric peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). The patient died postoperatively due to acute renal failure.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first reported case of mesenteric CD transforming into PTCL-NOS, highlighting the complexity and heterogeneity of the clinical course of mesenteric CD. These findings provide insights into the personalized treatment and clinical management of this disease.
