Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma With Longitudinally Extensive Transverse Myelopathy as the Initial Symptom: A Case Report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Identifying lymphoma as the cause of neurological disease is diagnostically challenging when the clinical manifestations are atypical. We report an unusual case of a previously healthy immunocompetent 67-years-old man presenting with acute onset of symptoms of myelopathy and mild personality changes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multifocal periventricular lesions and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM). He had very good response to corticosteroids and was in remission for over 6 months. Repeat MRI showed an unexpected mass lesion in the brain which was later confirmed by brain biopsy as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Subsequent FDG-PET/CT revealed systemic disease with lymphonodal and testicular manifestations (Stage IV disease). It is therefore important to consider lymphoma as a differential diagnosis in patients with LETM and demyelinating lesions in the brain.
