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

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is a rare lymphoproliferative disease caused by dysfunction of host surveillance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected B cells, which predominantly affects male adults, with a median onset at 46 years. Diagnosis can be challenging due to its nonspecific symptoms and the need for careful histopathological evaluation, particularly in atypical presentations. Here, we present a case of a 42-year-old Black man from Senegal with no past medical history who presented with a chronic, non-healing ulcer on his right upper extremity that had worsened over six months. Family history revealed a sister with kidney disease who required early dialysis. Initial vital signs showed a blood pressure of 178/123 mmHg and a heart rate of 127 beats/min, with normal temperature and oxygen saturation. A 4 × 5 cm crusted, non-tender stage 3 ulcer with hyperpigmented edges was found on his right arm. Laboratory tests showed pancytopenia, stage 5 chronic kidney disease with nephrotic-range proteinuria, and normocytic anemia. Blood cultures, HIV, and leishmaniasis tests were negative, and chest radiograph findings were normal. Initial evaluation also revealed chronic hepatitis B infection. CT raised concern for osteomyelitis, but MRI was negative. Skin biopsy showed nonspecific inflammatory changes, and cultures revealed methicillin-sensitive
