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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonographic differences between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL). Methods: A total of 46 patients with histopathologically confirmed PTL (27 with DLBCL and 19 with MALT lymphoma) were included in this study. All patients underwent ultrasonographic imaging prior to initiation of therapy. We retrospectively reviewed all images and compared the imaging findings between the two pathologies. Results: DLBCL was more likely to demonstrate greater clinical aggressiveness than MALT lymphoma, as indicated by a significantly higher rate of perithyroidal tissue invasion (41% vs. 11%, Conclusions: DLBCL is frequently characterized by markedly hypoechoic echogenicity, larger lesion size, and perithyroidal invasion on ultrasonography, whereas MALT lymphoma commonly presents with asymptomatic clinical manifestations.
