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

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the primary treatment for Stanford type B aortic dissection. The differential diagnosis of postoperative periaortic masses typically focuses on hematoma, endoleak, or graft infection. We report the case of a patient who underwent repeat TEVAR for stent-graft fracture 8 years after the index procedure. A periaortic hypodense lesion identified on preoperative computed tomography (CT) was initially interpreted as a hematoma but rapidly progressed into a large soft-tissue mass shortly after the secondary intervention, accompanied by a marked elevation in serum lactate dehydrogenase. Imaging evaluation revealed a discordant pattern: restricted diffusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with absent enhancement on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) demonstrated markedly increased metabolic activity within the lesion. Core needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with a TP53 mutation. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma associated with chronic inflammation (DLBCL-CI) occurring around a vascular graft and forming a well-defined mass is extremely rare. No previously reported case has simultaneously met the three criteria of a vascular graft background, Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER) positivity, and the formation of a well-defined mass. Through retrospective analysis of the imaging features in this case, we aim to enhance clinicians' awareness of this rare entity, thereby facilitating earlier diagnosis and reducing misdiagnosis.
