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

Purpose: To describe a structured multidisciplinary workflow for the diagnosis and management of unilateral orbital lymphoma and to illustrate its clinical application through representative cases from a tertiary referral practice. Despite advances in orbital imaging and hematopathology, no standardized framework currently integrates clinical assessment, quantitative MRI parameters, immunohistochemical subtyping, and systemic staging into a reproducible diagnostic-therapeutic pathway. Patients and Methods: A stepwise workflow integrating clinical assessment, MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement, histopathologic confirmation with immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Results: The workflow facilitated systematic evaluation across all cases. MRI consistently demonstrated characteristic features: well-circumscribed, homogeneously enhancing lesions molding to orbital structures, with mean ADC values of 0.55-0.70 × 10 Conclusions: The proposed workflow provides a reproducible framework for integrating clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic data in orbital lymphoma evaluation. Systematic application may support diagnostic accuracy, facilitate individualized staging, and inform evidence-based treatment selection, although prospective multicenter validation is needed before broader adoption. This methodology complements a recently accepted companion paper on unilateral orbital lesions, together providing a comprehensive resource for orbital disease assessment.
