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

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) rarely involves the paranasal sinuses, and ethmoidal localization with orbital extension is exceptional. We report the case of a 76-year-old patient presenting with progressive nasal obstruction and epiphora. Imaging revealed an ethmoidal mass with orbital invasion. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of DLBCL. The patient was referred to the medical oncology department for systemic immunochemotherapy followed by consolidative radiotherapy. No surgical intervention was performed. This case emphasizes the need to consider lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of aggressive sinonasal masses with orbital involvement. Early diagnosis and appropriate oncologic management are crucial for optimal outcomes.
