Article in Der Pathologe, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Splenic marginal zone B cell lymphomas (SMZBCL) are rare, organotypic, lymphoid neoplasms with distinct clinicopathological features. At initial presentation, the spleen, bone marrow and peripheral blood are usually involved, while generalized lymphadenopathy is only rarely observed. Molecularly, somatic hypermutation of IgVH genes can be detected in roughly half of the cases, and deletions in 7q are present in 45% of tumors. Approximately 10%-15% of SMZBCL do occur in the setting of chronic hepatitis C. This association underlines the importance of antigenic stimulation in the proliferation of the tumor cells in HCV-associated SMBCL, if not also in their classical counterparts. More recently, gene profiling studies using cDNA microarrays revealed a homogeneous expression profile in SMZBCL, thus further confirming the notion of a distinct tumor entity. The clinical course is indolent in the majority of cases; however, some patients follow a more aggressive clinical course, usually associated with some particular molecular features in these tumors, such as unmutated IgVH genes and 7q deletions.
