Successful Treatment of Gastrosplenic Fistula Arising from Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma with Chemotherapy: Two Case Reports.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Gastrosplenic fistula (GSF) is a rare condition arising from gastric or splenic lymphomas. Surgical resection is the most common treatment, as described in previous reports. We report two cases of GSF in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients that were successfully treated with chemotherapy and irradiation without surgical resection. Case 1 was of a 63-year-old man who had primary gastric DLBCL with a large lesion outside the stomach wall, leading to a spontaneous fistula in the spleen. Case 2 was of a 59-year-old man who had primary splenic DLBCL, which proliferated and infiltrated directly into the stomach. In both cases, chemotherapy comprising rituximab + dose-adjusted EPOCH regimen (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin) was administered. Case 1 had significant bleeding from the lesion of the stomach during the treatment cycle; however, endoscopic hemostasis was achieved. Case 2 developed a fistula between the stomach and the spleen following therapeutic chemotherapy; however, no complications related to the fistula were observed thereafter. In both cases, irradiation was administered, and complete remission was achieved.
