Plasmablastic Lymphoma of Small Intestine: A Rare Case Report with Review of Literature.
Article in Indian journal of hematology & blood transfusion : an official journal of Indian Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, 2016. 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
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare aggressive neoplasm characterized by diffuse proliferation of large neoplastic cells with plasma cell immunophenotype. Cell of origin of PBL is believed to be a postgerminal center B-lymphocyte or plasmablast. The malignant cells in PBL usually do not express CD20 (B cell marker) but do express markers of plasmacytic differentiation, such as CD38, CD138, or MUM1/IRF4, akin to plasma cell myeloma (PCM). PBL though originally described in the oral cavity, has now been found to occur in extraoral locations as well. Small intestine as a site of PBL has been described very rarely. PBL remains a diagnostic challenge given its overlapping morphologic and immunophenotypic features with other high grade lymphomas and PCM. We report a rare case of PBL of small intestine in a 48 years old HIV infected male patient. To the best of our knowledge this represents sixth case in the literature described in this location. An unusual rare pattern of CD138 positivity by IHC is also reported along with extensive review of literature of PBL in extraoral locations.
