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

Primary breast lymphomas account for less than 1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 0.04-0.5% of all malignant breast neoplasms. We report a case of breast extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) in a 60-year-old woman with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. After comprehensive evaluation excluded other known etiologies, chronic HCV infection emerged as the most plausible contributing factor. Epidemiologic and biological evidence supports an association between HCV and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, particularly marginal zone lymphomas. Our case adds to the limited literature suggesting that HCV should be considered as a potential etiological factor in breast EMZL. We discuss the emerging role of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy in HCV-associated indolent lymphomas and its implications for management.
