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

backgroundHodgkin lymphoma is a malignant lymphoid neoplasm that most commonly originates in lymph nodes, particularly within the cervical, mediastinal, and axillary regions. Extranodal involvement is relatively uncommon, and primary nasopharyngeal Hodgkin lymphoma defines a rare clinical phenomenon. Diagnosis may be delayed because its clinical presentation resembles more common nasopharyngeal conditions. CASE PRESENTATION: A 51-year-old Palestinian woman presented with progressive nasal obstruction and snoring. Endoscopic examination revealed a mass in the nasopharynx. Histopathological analysis confirmed lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma, staged as IIA. The patient was treated with four cycles of ABVD chemotherapy followed by involved-site radiotherapy using CT simulation with a total dose of 30.6 Gy delivered in 17 fractions, resulting in complete resolution of the lesion. At 12 months of follow-up, the patient remained disease-free with full clinical recovery.

conclusionThis case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by rare extranodal presentations of Hodgkin lymphoma and illustrates the value of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis and performing timely histopathological evaluation in patients with persistent nasal symptoms.
