A case of 'lymphomatosis cerebri' diagnosed in an early phase and treated by whole brain radiation: case report and literature review.
Review in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
'Lymphomatosis cerebri' (LC) is a term indicating a diffusely infiltrating form of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) without evidence of a mass lesion. Not infrequently, diagnostic confusion is caused by its presentation on cranial magnetic resonance images (MRI), which is characterized by diffuse leukoencephalopathy without contrast enhancement. In this report, we describe a 53-year-old, immunocompetent man who had an insidiously progressive dementia and right weakness. On serial MRI in 4 months duration, diffuse white matter lesions without contrast enhancement gradually progressed, which was clinically consistent with his worsening condition. Biopsy specimen demonstrated nondestructive, diffusely infiltrating, large B-cell lymphoma, diagnosing LC. After the biopsy, corticosteroids were initiated, which dramatically alleviated his symptoms. Afterwards, he was treated by whole brain irradiation (total 36Gy) and discharged without noticeable deficits. Diagnosis of LC requires additional examinations generally not performed in the other white matter disorders. In suspected cases, biopsy should be performed to avoid deferring adequate cytostatic treatment.
