Intravascular lymphoma of the central nervous system presenting as multiple cerebral infarctions.
Article in Nagoya journal of medical science, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
A 67-year-old woman presented with an acute onset of left-sided weakness. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed multiple cerebral infarctions and gadolinium-enhanced lesions in both cerebral hemispheres. Her symptoms once improved after starting steroid treatment; however, soon developed consciousness disturbance and hemiparesis on the left side. She was referred to our hospital where she underwent stereotactic needle biopsy, that revealed an intravascular large B-cell lymphoma in the cerebrum. She received high-dose methotrexate chemotherapy followed by whole-brain radiation therapy, and the MR findings improved. However, her medical condition gradually worsened, and she died 6 months after disease onset. Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) limited to the central nervous system (CNS) is very rare, and the optimal treatment for this medical condition has not been established yet. IVLs showing only neurologic manifestations might be overlooked or misdiagnosed as cerebral infarctions. Here, we present a case of CNS IVL, with its radiographic and pathologic features and treatment with high-dose methotrexate chemotherapy.
