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

Background: Indolent natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (iNKLPD) is a rare, recently defined neoplasm that is typically challenging to diagnose preoperatively. We report a rare case of iNKLPD arising in the gallbladder. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman presented with right upper abdominal pain and a positive Murphy's sign. Ultrasonography revealed wall thickening (0.6 cm) and a submucosal, tumor-like lesion at the gallbladder neck, along with several hyperechoic shadows suggestive of stones. Histopathological examination revealed coagulative necrosis in the mucosal lamina propria and diffuse infiltration of tumor cells into the muscular layer. The tumor cells were medium in size, with inconspicuous or small nucleoli. Immunohistochemically, the cells were positive for CD3, CD2, CD56, CD43, TIA-1, perforin, and granzyme B, and negative for CD5, CD20, CD79a, pan-CK, Bcl-6, CD10, MUM1, and cyclin D1. Both Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA Conclusion: We herein present a rare case of iNKLPD primarily occurring in the gallbladder. Given its atypical clinical and pathological features, iNKLPD requires careful distinction from other lymphomas or inflammatory lesions to prevent misdiagnosis. Furthermore, due to its indolent nature, accurate recognition is crucial to avoid the potential risk of overtreatment.
