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

This is a case of a woman in her 70s who demonstrated an uncommon presentation and consequence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). She presented with a month of generalized weakness and 1-2 weeks of melena. She was found to be anemic and had 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol)-mediated hypercalcemia. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a liver mass. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed a gastric ulcer, biopsied without evidence of active bleeding. Liver mass was biopsied. Positron emission tomography scan demonstrated an F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid hepatic mass with an FDG-avid lymphadenopathy above and below the diaphragm. Gastric biopsy was consistent with a lymphoma, and liver biopsy returned positive for DLBCL. She received two units of packed red blood cells. With comorbidities of heart failure and chronic kidney disease, she was judiciously given isotonic saline, calcitonin, prednisone, and denosumab for hypercalcemia.
