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

We present the case of a 56-year-old male with cecal involvement of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), whose tumor was refractory to multiple chemotherapy regimens and ultimately resulted in significant local complications due to tumor erosion, leading to considerable morbidity. NHL is the most common hematologic cancer with many subtypes of disease, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) being the most common. Extra-nodular presentation in the gastrointestinal tract is typical in many cases; however, the involvement of the colon is rare. This case details a patient with extra-nodal involvement of the cecum. The patient initially presented with an enlarging neck mass. This report highlights the importance of evaluating extra-nodular disease.
