Secondary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma presenting as lipoatrophy in a patient with hepatitis C.
Article in Journal of dermatological case reports, 2014. 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
backgroundHepatitis C viral infection is a significant public health problem; 170 million persons are infected worldwide and the prevalence in the southern part of the United States exceeds two percent. Extrahepatic manifestations of hepatitis C viral infection are common; notably, 15-20% of patients will develop cutaneous manifestations of their disease. There are numerous dermatologic diseases associated with hepatitis C infection, including lichen planus, leukocytoclasticvasculitis, and porphyria cutaneatarda. MAIN OBSERVATION: Recently, epidemiological studies have also demonstrated an association between hepatitis C infection and the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, especially marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. Herein we report the unusual case of a systemic marginal zone lymphoma in a patient with hepatitis C infection presenting clinically as localized lipoatrophy.
conclusionsLipoatrophy can be a rare and diagnostically challenging presentation of secondary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. The importance of early recognition and detection cannot be over emphasized, as new and effective anti-viral treatments can lead to lymphoma regression in up to 75% of patients. To our knowledge, this is the first case of hepatitis C viral infection associated marginal zone lymphoma to present as localized lipoatrophy.
