Spontaneous remission of primary central nervous system lymphoma: report of 3 cases and discussion of pathophysiology.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a relatively uncommon disease in which spontaneous remission is exceedingly rare. We are reporting three cases of primary CNS lymphoma with spontaneous regression in two to eight weeks, from the time of the initial diagnosis. The remission lasted for four years in the first case, two years in the second, and one year in the third case. Tissue diagnosis was made in the first two cases after relapse, and in the third case a biopsy was done at the initial presentation. The literature and the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of this interesting phenomenon are discussed.
