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

Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) is an indolent B-cell neoplasm with generally good prognosis, and while hepatic involvement in WM has been documented in the literature, it is rarely clinically significant. We present a case of a 77-year-old man with WM who presented with a cholestatic liver injury and rapid progression to decompensated liver disease. The patient ultimately transitioned to comfort care and died from liver failure. This case not only highlights the rarity of this poor outcome from WM, but also underscores the importance of early recognition of infiltrative malignancy as a potential cause of liver failure.
