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

Primary effusion lymphoma (PE) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by malignant lymphatic effusion in the pleural cavity. Non-traumatic chylothorax is usually caused by lymphomas with a discrete lymph node mass. Our report presents a case where chylothorax and chylous ascites were clinical presentation of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), a rare entity that does not show the typical presence of an identifiable malignant mass. Managing PEL complicated by chylothorax is generally more challenging and has a poor prognosis, as illustrated by a patient in this case who died weeks after diagnosis.
