A rare case of fever of unknown origin: subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL).

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 26-year-old man presented with high-grade fever, chills, productive cough and episodic abdominal pain of 6 months duration. Physical examination revealed that the patient was febrile and had multiple, ill-defined, tender, indurated, erythematous nodules and plaques over the trunk and thighs. Systemic examination and investigations revealed bilateral exudative pleural effusion with an increased adenosine deaminase (ADA) level. Pulmonary tuberculosis was suspected and the patient was started on a standard four-drug antitubercular regimen. Since his fever persisted, biopsy of the plaque over the trunk was performed, which showed lobular panniculitis with atypical lymphoid cells. Immunohistochemistry showed atypical lymphoid cells, which were CD3 and CD8 positive and CD4 negative. Based on the clinical features, skin biopsy and immunohistochemistry, the diagnosis of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma was made. The patient was treated with chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplantation, and 4-year follow-up showed complete remission of lymphoma.
