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

Introduction: Epstein-Barr virus positive plasma cell neoplasms in immunocompetent hosts typically behave like aggressive lymphomas, often classified as plasmablastic lymphoma. We evaluated six sinonasal neoplasms in elderly males with unusually indolent courses at Mayo Clinic. Methods: A single-center, retrospective review of plasmablastic lymphoma cases identified six cases with unusually favorable outcomes. We analyzed clinical presentations, pathologic features, and treatment outcomes. Results: All patients were male with age range 61-80 years. Five patients had Ann Arbor stage IE disease and one had Stage IV; all lacked B symptoms, and LDH was normal in five. Histologic evaluation revealed mixed mature plasma cell and plasmablastic features in three cases and pure plasmablastic morphology in three. All cases demonstrated EBER and CD138 positivity with monotypic light chain restriction (3 Conclusions: These neoplasms show less aggressive behavior than typical plasmablastic lymphoma, suggesting this sinonasal disease represents a distinct indolent subset of EBV positive PCNs. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
