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

Objective: Cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the uterus co-expressing CD5 are exceedingly rare and diagnostically challenging due to its nonspecific clinical and radiological features, which often mimic other uterine malignancies. This study retrospectively analyzes the cytopathological and histopathological characteristics of this entity in uterine cavity drainage fluid to facilitate its recognition. Methods: We analyzed a case of uterine CD5-positive DLBCL by collecting clinical data, imaging findings, cytology from uterine drainage fluid, and histology from endometrial curettage. A review of the pertinent literature on uterine DLBCL was also performed. Results: A 74-year-old woman presented with a two-week history of abdominal distension and anorexia. Abdominal CT demonstrated uterine enlargement with a large fluid collection and multiple enlarged abdominal lymph nodes. Cytology of the uterine drainage fluid revealed numerous atypical lymphoid cells with large, hyperchromatic nuclei, scant basophilic cytoplasm, and a high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio. Histology of the curettage specimens showed a diffuse infiltrate of large lymphocytes with necrosis. The tumor cells exhibited round, oval, or irregular nuclei, coarse chromatin, and prominent nucleoli. Immunohistochemically, the cells were positive for CD20, CD79α, CD19, PAX5, CD5, Bcl-6, and MUM1, and negative for CD3, CD10, Bcl-2, CD30 and Cyclin D1. Conclusion: Uterus DLBCL expressing CD5 is an exceedingly rare malignancy. Its diagnosis necessitates a comprehensive approach integrating clinical presentation, imaging, cytomorphology, and immunohistochemistry. Increased awareness of the cytological features of lymphoma in uterine drainage fluid is essential to prevent diagnostic oversight.
