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

Profound lactic acidosis and refractory hypoglycemia are rare but critical indicators of underlying malignancy. We report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting with the aforementioned metabolic derangements consistent with the Warburg effect and its extreme form, hyper-Warburgism. This phenomenon reflects aggressive tumor metabolism driven by aerobic glycolysis leading to excess lactate and glucose consumption. A comprehensive workup excluded infectious, ischemic, and metabolic causes, and the diagnosis was eventually confirmed via biopsy. Despite treatment, the disease rapidly progressed, leading to multiorgan failure. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing atypical metabolic presentations as signs of aggressive malignancy because early identification of hyper-Warburgism can expedite oncologic evaluation, guide management, and potentially improve outcomes.
