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

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a common lymphatic system malignancy that typically presents with painless lymphadenopathy. Acute symptoms resulting from extranodal involvement are rare and may lead to diagnostic challenges in the emergency setting. We report a case of NHL in a 39-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with abdominal distension, oliguria, and acute dyspnea. Imaging revealed a large retroperitoneal mass with bilateral pleural effusions and ascites. The patient underwent symptomatic treatment and was admitted to the ICU. Histopathological examination of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case highlights the importance of considering lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses with acute systemic manifestations and emphasizes a cautious approach to surgical intervention in the emergency setting.
