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

backgroundSplenic B-cell lymphomas and leukaemias include hairy cell leukaemia, splenic marginal zone lymphoma, splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma, and splenic B-cell lymphoma/leukaemia with prominent nucleoli. The main diagnostic challenge is to differentiate between splenic B-cell lymphomas and leukaemias due to highly overlapping clinical, morphologic, and phenotypic features in the absence of splenectomies for diagnostic purposes. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of a 78-year-old woman who presented with weight loss and was subsequently found to have pancytopenia, lymphocytosis, and splenomegaly. Peripheral blood smear showed a homogenous population of small- to medium-sized lymphocytes having oval nuclei, condensed chromatin, and villous cytoplasmic projections. Bone marrow showed B-cell infiltrate in a predominantly intrasinusoidal pattern. Except for cyclin D1 and BRAF, the immunophenotype was similar to that of hairy cell leukaemia. This was further supported by the lack of

conclusionsAwareness of this infrequent clinical presentation and immunophenotype of splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma is crucial for diagnosis and devising appropriate therapeutic strategies for the patient.
