Two surgical cases of thymic MALT lymphoma associated with multiple lung cysts: possible association with Sjögren's syndrome.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Thymic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is rare. Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) has strong association with thymic MALT lymphoma but the exact etiology is unknown. On the other hand, SjS is characterized by the complication of various lung manifestations, including lung cysts. The mechanism for these lesions is also unknown. But the underlying SjS could result in MALT lymphoma with lung cysts. Herein, we demonstrate two surgical cases of thymic MALT lymphoma associated with multiple lung cysts and the characterization of this rare tumor. During surgery, the tumors were found to be well capsuled and had no adhesion or invasion to the surrounding tissues consistent with its characteristics of low grade malignancy. When thymic MALT lymphoma is suspected clinically, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery might be the best approach for diagnosis. We propose that radiological findings of a thymic tumor along with lung cysts are an indication of thymic MALT lymphoma.
