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

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an aggressive and uncommon variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, most frequently associated with immunocompromised states. Although extranodal disease is characteristic, involvement of the urinary bladder is exceptionally rare and may mimic primary urothelial malignancy both clinically and histologically. We report the case of a 62-year-old man with a previous history of high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in remission who presented with acute gross haematuria. Imaging demonstrated bladder wall thickening with associated hydronephrosis. Transurethral resection of the bladder lesion, followed by detailed histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis, confirmed plasmablastic large B-cell lymphoma involving the bladder. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis in patients presenting with haematuria, particularly those with a prior history of haematologic malignancy. A review of the literature highlights the rarity of bladder involvement and the diagnostic challenges associated with this entity.
