Primary pulmonary extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma of nasal type misdiagnosed as pneumonia: A case report and literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
rationalePrimary pulmonary NK/T cell lymphoma is extremely rare, and only a few cases have reported so far. Its diagnosis is mainly dependent on open-lung biopsy. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here, we report a 44-year-old male who was initially misdiagnosed as having pneumonia according to the clinical characteristics and computed tomography (CT) findings. DIAGNOSIS: The first lung biopsy indicated a large number of coagulative necrotic lesions, and definite diagnosis was made after the second lung biopsy following non-response to 6-day wide spectrum antibiotic therapy. The second lung biopsy showed the tumor cells were positive for LCA, CD3ε, CD30, TIA-1, Ki67 and negative for CD20, CD56, CD1a, MPO, CK, S-100, desmin, and CD34.
interventionsThis patient refused to receive further therapy and died 1 month after confirmed diagnosis. OUTCOMES: Clinically, it is difficult to differentiate pneumonia from NK/T cell lymphoma in pathology due to the presence of plenty of focal necrosis in primary pulmonary NK/T cell lymphoma. LESSONS: The diagnosis of primary pulmonary NK/T cell lymphoma should be based on lung biopsy (usually multiple lung biopsies are required), immunohistochemistry and clinical and imaging findings.
