Primary hepatic lymphoma: a challenging diagnosis.
Article in Case reports in oncological medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Introduction. Primary hepatic lymphoma is an unusual malignancy and is very difficult to diagnose promptly. An intrigue case presenting with cholestatic jaundice is reviewed and main disease characteristics are further discussed. Case Report. A 70-year-old male presented with dull right upper quadrant abdominal pain and mild cholestatic jaundice. Initial evaluation revealed mildly elevated liver function tests and normal tumor markers, while imaging with an abdominal CT-scan showed multiple hypodense nodules in both liver lobes. First impression of metastatic deposits from gastrointestinal origin was not confirmed by endoscopic means. After CT-guided biopsy, primary diffuse large B-cells non-Hodgkin lymphoma was revealed. Appropriate chemotherapy improved patient's condition markedly. Discussion. Primary hepatic lymphoma is a rare form of extranodal lymphomas, accounting for less than 1% of all extranodal lymphomas in general. In order to define the condition as PHL, liver has to be the only site of lymphoma occurrence or to be involved in a major degree with minimal nonliver disease. Most PHLs are of B-cell origin with large cells as the main cell type.
