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

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) often presents with ocular involvement that mimics benign inflammatory conditions, frequently delaying diagnosis. We report a case of a 41-year-old healthy woman presenting with diminished vision and floaters. Examination revealed panuveitis with characteristic hypopigmented retinal lesions exhibiting a 'leopard-skin' pattern. Despite the absence of systemic symptoms and a vitreous sample of low cellularity, diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy confirmed large B-cell lymphoma via immunophenotyping (CD20, CD79a and PAX5). Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a parieto-occipital brain mass. The patient received high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy according to the DeAngelis protocol, combined with rituximab, selected to optimise disease control while minimising the neurotoxicity associated with whole-brain radiotherapy. She achieved visual recovery to 6/9 and regression of the central nervous system (CNS) lesion. This case underscores the importance of recognising pathognomonic retinal signs and employing molecular immunophenotyping to enable timely, life-saving, neuro-sparing therapy.
